I Was Just Your Fool

Every heart
Like every stage
Has the same stock parts
The one in distress
The hero to the rescue
And the villain lurking in the dark

Oh I wasn't sure
Which part you'd choose for me
If I wasn't your star
I hoped I'd play a lead

But I was just your fool

Is this one of those plays
Where only the fool is
Free to tell the truth?
Why should I care?
If you don't love me
Than what good does that truth do?

Someone rewrite this script
Turn its world upside down
Put a poor child on the throne
And make the queen love the clown

Cause I was just your fool

Tear up these rags I wore
Tear out the page
Tear down this sad, cheap set and
Burn down the stage

I won’t be your fool
