I'm Only Fooling Myself

I don't trust my memory anymore

I can't tell if things are better than they were before

But this heart of mine is ready to believe

A long lost lover comes back home

And a life-long friend can't stand to be alone

Until the morning comes and you have to leave

Then I see you on the street

Holding on to someone else

Who even looks like me

It seems like I'm only fooling myself

I'm playing games with my heart and soul

I know that fooling myself

Can be dangerous if I lose control

I'm only fooling myself

I'm playing games with my heart and soul

Everybody knows fooling yourself

Can be dangerous when you lose control

Then you've only got yourself to blame

When you asked if I could take you in

It was harder than it should have been

'Cause you were always such good company

And last night you wanted me to stay

But this morning you just slipped away

No goodbye, maybe you were just a dream

Well, I'm easy when it comes to being kind

And sure I need a little bit of love on the side

When the truth begins to hurt

It gets too hard to hide

You know that I'm only fooling myself

I'm playing games with my heart and soul

I know that fooling myself

Can be dangerous if I lose control

I'm only fooling myself

I'm playing games with my heart and soul

And if I use sleight of hand to make you reappear

Still I can't be sure what is and isn't fair

I'm only fooling myself

I'm playing games with my heart and soul

I know that fooling myself

Can be dangerous, dangerous

I'm only fooling myself

I'm playing games with my heart and soul

Everybody knows fooling yourself

Can be dangerous, dangerous

I'm only fooling myself

I'm playing games with my heart and soul
