Don't Fool Yourself Tonight

[intro] [Verse 1] You said the house was safe But the hinges sang your name Gold dust on the hallway rug And smoke behind the frame [bridge] I found your letter folded tight In the bowl by the stairs One side wore your careful words The other side was prayers [Pre-Chorus] Now the candles burn so low And the truth begins to show I can hear the old clock grin Like it knows where you’ve been [Chorus] Don’t fool yourself tonight It’s written in your eyes Don’t fool yourself tonight The mask is just disguise We were never made of glass We were fire in the glass Don’t fool yourself tonight Don’t fool yourself [bridge] [Verse 2] Down by the millstone gate You met him at first light He wore a coat of borrowed hope And left before the night [bridge] You kept the key beneath the book The one with broken lace I saw the shadow on the wall And then I saw your face [Pre-Chorus] Now the chandeliers go dim And the violin steps in Every polished little lie Has a crack beneath the shine [Chorus] Don’t fool yourself tonight It’s written in your eyes Don’t fool yourself tonight The mask is just disguise We were never made of glass We were fire in the glass Don’t fool yourself tonight Don’t fool yourself [Bridge] [Classical Interlude] A silver run through moonlit keys A fountain made of ivory breeze The bishop moves, the tower falls One small heart recalls it all [bridge] So tell me what you wanted When you walked that crooked line A crown, a door, a safer world Or just one stolen sign? [Final Chorus] Don’t fool yourself tonight It’s written in your eyes Don’t fool yourself tonight The mask is just disguise We were never made of glass We were fire in the glass Don’t fool yourself tonight Don’t fool yourself [bridge] Don’t fool yourself tonight The dawn will tell the lies Don’t fool yourself tonight I’ve seen behind the skies We were never made of glass We were fire in the glass Don’t fool yourself tonight Don’t fool yourself [outro]
