April Fools

There’s something about the glorification of fun
And how we tend to romanticize the breeze and the Sun
We got caught up in the fantasy
And faked the things we hoped would someday be

There’s something about the way the Sun shines in your eyes
And how I tend to lose myself in your smile
We joked around as if it could be something real
Those momentary glances I would secretly steal

Away from you
You know you really had me fooled

We were just April fools falling in love
Did we really think some feeling was enough?
Oh we should’ve known better
Was it a change in the weather?
‘Cause all I really wanted was you
They say these showers will bring the flowers
But I’ve been lying here for hours you broke down all my towers
I played along with the joke, I fell in love with the hoax
I know exactly where it broke, I asked the question and you choked

Maybe it’s the way the rain clears out a spring storm
All these dormant feelings are being reborn
I can almost see exactly where it went wrong
You joked around but strung my heart all along

I can’t get away from you
You know you really had me fooled

We were just April fools falling in love
Did we really think some feeling was enough?
Oh we should’ve known better
Was it a change in the weather?
‘Cause all I really wanted was you
They say these showers will bring the flowers
But I’ve been lying here for hours you broke down all my towers
I played along with the joke, I fell in love with the hoax
I know exactly where it broke, I asked the question and you choked

They say April Showers bring May Flowers
That’s not what it feels like
Just showers of tears I’ve waited for years
Hoping for a good month

April Fools, I fell in love
I really thought some feeling was enough
Oh I should’ve known better
Was it a change in the weather?
‘Cause all I really wanted was you
They say these showers will bring the flowers
But I’ve been lying here for hours
You broke all my towers
I played along with a joke, I fell in love with a hoax
I know exactly where it broke, I asked the question and you—
