False Hope

I thought there was a spark
I thought you shared the same beat as my beating heart
But now you're lying, you're denying
Saying we were nothing from the start
And when you caught my eyes in the hall
You pretended you didn't know me at all
I'm not buying what you're trying
Do you take me for a fool?

Do you take me for a fool?
You take me for a fool
You take me for a fool
You take me for a fool

You don't get this power over me
Only kissed me 'cause you "felt sorry"
Keep telling yourself what you wanna hear
You know I know you're running from your fear
"Keep this a secret", "don't tell a soul"
Let's skip that altogether, it'd be better
If you
If you
Just left me alone

I thought there was a spark
Could I only see that 'cause you kept us in the dark?
And now the lights are on, and now the sparks are gone
I guess that I was wrong, you used me all along

Do you pick on me 'cause you're sick of me?
Or are you too insecure in your identity
That it's too risky if anyone were to see
Us meet in the back of the library?
You put x's at the ends of your texts
And I wasn't even the first to send them
And should I mention you were the one
Who'd fought for my attention back when this had all begun

Do you take me for a fool?
You take me for a fool
You take me for a fool
You take me for a fool

You don't get this power over me
Only kissed me 'cause you "felt sorry"
Keep telling yourself what you wanna hear
You know I know you're running from your fear
"Keep this a secret", "don't tell a soul"
Let's skip that altogether, it'd be better
If you
If you
Just left me alone
