You're the fool

I see what you’re doing,
Playing me for a fool,
good for you,
you’ve done it again.
You built me up so high,
I thought I’d never go down,
but once again you’ve proved me wrong.
You tore me down.
Again.
This time to far,
farther than I’ve been before.
So whats the excuse this time?
Or should I ask who?
Who is the next lucky one?
You gonna build her up?
You gonna tear her right back down?
You gonna do the same thing to her?
The same thing you do to them all.
See you think I’m the fool.
But again you’re wrong.
You are.
You play everyone the same way.
Where does that leave you?
Alone.
I can move on.
But once people catch on to your little game,
you’re done.
You’re alone.
You’re the fool.
