You say your happy, with your ways   But anyone who's ever known you knows that you've seen better days   So here's a lesson, to be learned   In a mirror, disillusioned, images you cannot turn      In a Fools Paradise   Will you ever realize   In a Fools Paradise   Oh...Oh      Another step in, the wrong direction   Never to return again, misery can be your friend   In your wasted dreams, nothings what it seems   Take a look at what you've done, cowards only shoot and run      In a Fools Paradise   Will you ever realize   In a Fools Paradise   It's all gonna come to an end      You think you're happy, maybe just too high   All you love's been lost in dreams and don't you ever wonder why   Tomorrow's history, anyway do you care   You can run forever but your getting nowhere      In a Fools Paradise   Will you ever realize   In a Fools Paradise   Oh ... Oh   In a Fools Paradise   Will you ever open your eyes   In a Fools Paradise   It's all gonna come to an end
