As you look into my eyes
  and tell those empty lies
  I'll pretend they're true
  'Cause that's what I do
    As you sit and hold my hand
  And smile at other men
  I'll pretend I'm blind
  'Cause I'm just that kind
    I'm the king of fools
  And I'll always reign
  Over loneliness and pain
  The king of fools wears his crown
  Wherever misery can be found
    I'm the king of fools
  And I'll always reign
  Over loneliness and pain
  The king of fools wears his crown
  Wherever misery can be found
    As you walk away with him
  And I lose in love again
  I'll pretend to see
  That you're still with me
  But I'll be there all alone
  Like a king upon a throne
  'Cause I'm the king of fools
  I'm the king of fools
