Life is a dream for the wise A game for the fool A comedy for the rich And a tragedy for the poor But if all the world is a stage Then I'll pretend I'm okay I'm taking everything I've said Finding myself in the words Making sure I've held my end Recognizing which waters to tread I was searching for closure for the longest time Sewing self inflicted wounds since the dawn of time But I don't want to think about another moment with you Every time you snuck behind my back baby I knew It's all just a part of your plan to break me down, down again Well my knuckles are white And my hands are red From holding on to all your broken Promises You fooled me once and it's sad to say But fool me twice and I'm history I've been searching for closure I've been wasting precious time I hoped that time would see you off Instead you're stuck inside my mind But I don't want to remember I only wish you'd understand So put yourself in my shoes And try your best just to stand It makes me happy to know there's no one out there like me So while your contemplating death I'm sleeping soundly I'm sleeping soundly I fought my demons I faced my fears It's me against the world And I'm still here It's all just a part of your plan to break me down, down again Well my knuckles are white And my hands are red From holding on to all your broken Promises You fooled me once and it's sad to say But fool me twice and I'm history Well my knuckles are white And my hands are red From holding on to all your broken Promises You fooled me once and it's sad to say But fool me twice and I'm history
