[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I don't wanna hear your name
I don't wanna feel your pain
And I don't have to play your game
I'm stronger and things have changed
I'm no longer in fools, fools paradise
I'm no longer in fools, fools paradise
Fools paradise
[Verse 2]
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]
So I don't wanna hear your name
I don't wanna feel your pain
And I don't have to play your game
I'm stronger and things have changed
I'm no longer in fools, fools paradise
Fools, fools paradise
[Outro]
I don't wanna hear your name
I don't wanna feel your pain
I'm no longer in fools (I don't wanna hear your name)
Fools paradise
I don't wanna feel your pain
I'm no longer in fools (I don't wanna hear your name)
I don't wanna feel it, I don't wanna feel it, I don't wanna feel it
Fools paradise (I don't wanna feel your pain)
I don't wanna feel it, I don't wanna feel it, I don't wanna feel it
I'm no longer in fools (I don't wanna hear your name)
