We kept walking slowly through another quiet year
Talking like tomorrow would always keep us near
Only on this day I borrow jokes to tell the truth
Standing like a friend while falling hard for you
Who decided honesty must wear a disguise
Why do simple feelings turn to complicated lies
If today allows the truth to slip out carelessly
Then I'll say I love you like a joke you'll never see
I wanna say I love you wanna pull you close to me
Wanna see your footsteps walking in my daily scenes
Dreaming every future bright and wild and free
Turns out every dream was only written just for me
I like you I love you but I say it playfully
Laugh it off tomorrow say you never heard from me
Happy April Fools the sweetest kind of injury
Tell me why my heart is still standing where it used to be
I've written far too many songs that say your name
Every line begins with you and ends the same
I smile like nothing ever really changed
But in the quiet dark your shadow still remains
Who decided honesty must wear a disguise
Why do simple feelings turn to complicated lies
If today allows the truth to slip out carelessly
Then I'll say I love you like a joke you'll never see
I wanna say I love you wanna pull you close to me
Wanna see your footsteps walking in my daily scenes
Dreaming every future bright and wild and free
Turns out every dream was only written just for me
I like you I love you but I say it playfully
Laugh it off tomorrow say you never heard from me
Happy April Fools the sweetest kind of injury
Tell me why my heart is still standing where it used to be
I wanna say I love you wanna pull you close to me
Wanna see your footsteps walking in my daily scenes
Dreaming every future bright and wild and free
Turns out every dream was only written just for me
I like you I love you though it ends so quietly
Happy April Fools the truth you never got to see
Every word I hid away is still inside of me
And I'm still waiting here where you used to be
