Manipulated romance ... pretty speeches in the dark ... banging on your big drum ... you captivate ... their hearts ... but underneath the mask ... is a man of straw ... a master of excuses ... closing every door ... I don't wanna hear your name. I don't wanna feel your pain. I don't have to play your game. I'm stronger, things have changed, I'm no longer in fools, fools paradise ... fools paradise ... Your poetic inspiration ... is a work of art ... but your obsession with the glory ... rules a self-centered heart ... accumulative hatred ... living in fear ... and when the bitterness is over ... another victim reappears ... CHORUS I don't wanna hear ... your ... name ... I don't wanna feel ... your ... pain ... I'm no longer in fool's ... fool's paradise ...
