I stare into the mirror
At a sad and somber clown
One that gave love too freely
In hopes of love in return

Lavish me with affection
I've heard so many times
Now you’re suffocating me
Where's that thin line

You are so nice I've been told
You have a caring and good heart
Now get away from me please
I'm no longer falling apart

Knights dream of the maidens
Fight hard for love to be true
Only thing that they forget
Maidens are for princes not you

What once was a mighty man,
So sure he'd conquer the world
Is now standing with an empty heart
He's been reduced to a Jester's role

Being a fool can be entertaining
For most to watch and see
Being a fool tears me apart
But I'll repeat the role

Those who don't learn
From history's mistakes
Are doomed to repeat it
As I will for eternity.
