240122: Could Have Fooled Me

from Leap Songs, Part 3 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

You got me good I believed you
I was never gonna' leave you
Played the part as perfect as could be
Could have fooled me

Those late night promises sounded good
Like you're the only one who understood
I thought your heart was right there on your sleeve
Could have fooled me

You could have moved me like a puppet
You could have spun me on a string
You could have worked me like puzzle
I'd have done anything

Then by the last scene of the movie
No train was on the tracks
And even still you could have fooled me
I wish you had

All your words fit like a glove
Until you left me in the dust
With one last kiss as though you still believed
Could have fooled me
