The Jester of Hearts

I'm in love with you but I just can't say
All those things in my heart
You beauty has paralyzed my usually silver tonge
My heart fluttering fast and hot
Is this just infatuation, is this real
Or am I gearing up for another heartbreak

Every face, every single one, all the past
They creep into my mind to remind me of
How I played love's jester fool
When I opened my heart to have it deflated and rejected
Dancing to the beat I thought was love
Never looking out for the huge cliff below

Baby, how do I know you're real
Could you ever be someone who'd want to be true
Lay your head upon my chest and move to my ear
And whisper those words I've longed to hear with validity
"I love you"

This feeling was once the greatest thing I could imagine
But now the joy feels kind of cruel
Hoping for something yet waiting for the crash
It's not fair to you and cruel to me
Wondering what side of this coin you are
Are you just a fading thought in my head or tailing it out of sight
It all seems like chance and risk with no reward
Except knowing, I'm always love's fool
