As you look into my eyes and tell those empty lies I'll pretend they're true 'Cause that's what I do As you sit and hold my hand And smile at other men I'll pretend I'm blind 'Cause I'm just that kind I'm the king of fools And I'll always reign Over loneliness and pain The king of fools wears his crown Wherever misery can be found I'm the king of fools And I'll always reign Over loneliness and pain The king of fools wears his crown Wherever misery can be found As you walk away with him And I lose in love again I'll pretend to see That you're still with me But I'll be there all alone Like a king upon a throne 'Cause I'm the king of fools I'm the king of fools
