No!
|
|
That was simply a slip of the tongue.
|
|
Is it too late for me to play along?
|
|
|
|
I fear I'm no longer as mysterious,
|
|
As wise, and as fearless
|
|
As I've implied myself to be.
|
|
|
|
I've revealed my true colors.
|
|
I'll soon be discovered;
|
|
This shall show my sheer stupidity!
|
|
|
|
'Tis time to hang up my hat and accept this mistake
|
|
Since it seems I don't quite have what it takes
|
|
To fool these fools how non-foolish I am.
|
|
If only things had gone according to plan,
|
|
|
|
For I have heard it said:
|
|
He who knows, does not speak.
|
|
He who speaks, does not know.
|
|
I had taken this to heart
|
|
And so my heart I would never show.
