Same Kind of Fool Lyrics — R.J. Sloane

Same Kind of Fool is an outlaw country duet about two undercover operatives who spent weeks lying to each other's faces — and now know the truth. Same side. Same mission. Same fire neither one planned for. The deception isn't the wound. The kiss before the reveal is.

VERSE 1
Wore a name that wasn't mine
Played a part I knew too well
Every word I gave you
Built to keep you from the truth
Thought I had you fooled
Thought the lie was clean

VERSE 2
Smiled like I didn't know
Filed it away behind my eyes
Every question that you asked me
I already had the answer
Thought I had you fooled
Thought the lie was clean

PRE-CHORUS
Then somebody said a name
And the whole thing came apart

CHORUS
You weren't who I thought you were
You weren't who I thought you were
I lied to your face
I lied to yours
Turns out we're the same kind of fool
Running the same kind of game
Two liars on the same side
Never gonna be the same

VERSE 3
That kiss was real
I know that now
Worse than if it wasn't
Who I thought you were
Wasn't even there
But what I felt
That was

VERSE 4
Complicated doesn't cover it
A professional, just like me
Should make it simpler
Only makes it worse
Knew the lie
Didn't know the ache

PRE-CHORUS
Can't unsay the name
Can't unfeel the thing

CHORUS
You weren't who I thought you were
You weren't who I thought you were
I lied to your face
I lied to yours
Turns out we're the same kind of fool
Running the same kind of game
Two liars on the same side
Never gonna be the same

BRIDGE
I thought you'd be taller
That's what you led with
Had to say something
I would've done the same
So where does that leave us
Same road
Same fight
Two liars who can't lie
About this

CHORUS
You weren't who I thought you were
You weren't who I thought you were
I lied to your face
I lied to yours
Turns out we're the same kind of fool
Running the same kind of game
Two liars on the same side
Gonna be complicated
All the same

CHORUS
You weren't who I thought you were
You weren't who I thought you were
I lied to your face
I lied to yours
Turns out we're the same kind of fool
Running the same kind of game
Two liars on the same side
And I'm done
Pretending I don't feel a thing

OUTRO
Same road
Same fight
Same fire
