Lyrics
[Soft-spoken Pre-Intro]
Late night… my mind is racing and the phone’s quiet now
I keep staring at the screen like it might explain why
My chest feels tight, my heart hurts
I don’t know if I’m about to cry or scream
But I know something is wrong
[Intro]
In my mind dark shadows creep in like a storm
I’m lost in the echoes of every lie
I tried to hold on, tried to believe
But now I see… I’ve been deceived
[Verse 1]
Thought I knew what love was supposed to be
Fighting through the static just to see
Your shadow still whispers right against my ear
(soft spoken) “It’s okay…”
Fooling myself while I’m drowning in fear
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone’s shouting, telling me to leave
But my heart’s still torn, it refuses to believe
These scars have broken my trust, they cut way too deep
In this silence… all I do is weep
[Hook]
Should I stay?
Should I go?
My mind says run
My heart says no
One more chance or cut the rope?
Tell me how I’m supposed to know
[Chorus]
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me too
My heart’s on fire, I’m torn in two
Lost in the decision I have to do
[Verse 2]
My heart is pounding, I still hear the echoes through the night
I find myself screaming alone in this endless fight
Confused and broken, standing here alone
Searching for a place I can still call my own
[Pre-Chorus]
Voices scream and shout but I still have to decide
Follow my gut, let it be the only guide
No more lies, no more perfect disguise
In this battle I’ll finally find my rise
[Chorus]
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me too
My heart’s on fire, I’m torn in two
Lost in the decision I have to do
[Bridge]
Run or stay, which path do I take?
Every single choice feels like another heartbreak
But I know I gotta face the truth
Trust in myself and reclaim what’s left of my youth
[Final Chorus]
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, and I’m the fool who knew
My heart’s in flames, I’m black and blue
But I won’t stay lost in what I have to do
[Outro]
The wounds will heal, time will tell
What’s right or wrong, where I’ll dwell
My heart will choose, I’ll break free
In the end I’ll find my peace…
even if it kills me
[Echo]
Fool me once…
Shame on you
