about

I had to have at least one sad bastard song on the album. Gotta remember my roots! The woman in the first verse is actually the same one "Rift" is about, but I decided to release "Rift" later on Diamond Days, so I guess that would've been the first time she "fooled me" since I wrote that song before this one. And now my brain hurts. The second verse is also inspired by events that happened in my vicinity...ugh. As for the third verse, I have a fear of toeing the line between clever and lame. This was one of those instances. I kept it in anyway, so whatever, IT'S MY HOT BODY I DO WHAT I WOWNT!

lyrics

You fooled me twice for reasons I will never know
And for a second time, I'll deck the halls alone
It's ever been your nature to play innocent
So what made me think this year would be any different?

Well, I'm naïve

The one she loved was thinking of her eyes that day
When he was shot while fighting half the world away
He never knew about her infidelity
Somebody please restore my faith in humanity

'Cos I'm naïve

"So kids, I'd like to try a little game today
We'll get to know each other better if we play
Now John, would you please stand up and address the class?
Give us an adjective you feel describes you best"
