prince of fools

it doesn't seem so long ago

you were here and i was whole

i'm weaker since you went away

i could've made you stronger if you stayed

you told me that you'd been around

and i was the best thing that you'd ever found

well

how can something be so right

and turn to nothing overnight

if you could

you were thinking it good

broke in two

and hoping to hide

thinking you had time on your side

prince of fools

you'd better make up your mind

empty promises

unspoken lines

well

they kept me hanging for a time

but now your time is running out on you

and if you really want to make it true somehow

well

it's got to be now

oh

why

why can't you see

what you're doing to people like me

and would you change it if you could

you know i don't think you would

but it's true that i did it for you

broke in two

and hoping to hide

thinking you had time on your side

prince of fools

you'd better make up your mind
