```
[Verse 1]
How could I be so naive?
To let you pull me away?
I thought I knew, I believed.
But I didn't know what was best for me.

```

```
[Pre-Chorus 1]
They say "fool me once, shame on you"
But I let you fool me twice, shame on me....

```

```
[Chorus]
I was looking at you through rose tinted glasses
Didn't see your red flags just sat there laughing.
You were someone I thought I could call mine
But realistically, I was blinded.

```

```
[Verse 2]
 I let you lead me into your home,
Thought I knew what was going on...
I didn't realize you were so ill minded...
you called me a slut and poisoned me, blinded. (Ohhh..)

```

```
[Pre-Chorus 2]
They say "we are what we pretend to be"
but you were more than unfaithful to me...

```

```
[Chorus]
I was looking at you through rose tinted glasses
Didn't see your red flags just sat there laughing.
You were someone I thought i could call mine
But realistically, I was blinded.
I was blinded... (ohhhhh)

```

```
 [Pre-Bridge]
They say "be of love a bit more careful than anything..."
But I wasn't careful enough to escape from everything...

```

```
[Bridge]
I was blinded, blindfolded, and hidden away!
heartbroken, you know it, you were fucked in the head..
I was fragile, you broke me, I loved you..
or so I thought.
I was looking at you through rose tinted glasses
I was so fragile like often glass is...
You were someone I thought I could call mine
But realistically, I was blinded.
I was blinded... (ohhhhh)

```

```
[Outro]
Looking up at you turned to lusting after you
Lusting after you turned to chasing after you
Chasing after you turned to fading out of view

```

 And your sick apology is long overdue... {dial tone}
