If I've Been Fooled

Years passed by here by your side

But with one hand steady on the door

And it took so long staring back at you

To open the door and walk through

And what if I've been fooled by a story or a song?

Or a memory remembered wrong?

It's gonna take so long to unravel the con

And by then, I know that you'll be gone

And if I've been fooled, it was not by you

But by a story with the ring of truth

And a story takes only so long to tell and then it's gone

And I will find out
