Foolish Heart

I painted skies in shades of blue,

Believing every lie you threw.

Thought I could make a world with you,

But I’m the only one who’s true.

I wear this smile, pretend it’s fine,

Hide the cracks along my mind.

You hold my heart, yet let it fall,

It breaks and still, I give it all.

Foolish heart, chasing dreams that fade,

Loving you with a hope that’s frayed.

Can’t see the truth behind your eyes,

I’m lost in love, believing lies.

You whisper words so sweet and low,

But there's no warmth, no spark, no glow.

I give and give till there's no more,

While you keep walking out the door.

I wish I’d see the lines you drew,

Between what's real and what’s untrue.

Still, I linger, though I know,

You’re just a shadow I can’t hold.

Foolish heart, chasing dreams that fade,

Loving you with a hope that’s frayed.

Can’t see the truth behind your eyes,

I’m lost in love, believing lies.

Maybe one day I'll wake and find,

Strength to leave this all behind.

But for now, I'll wear this blind,

Loving you, my foolish mind.

Foolish heart, chasing dreams that fade,

Loving you though my soul's betrayed.

Wrapped in shadows, I still stay,

In love with you, come what may.
