  • What did I see?
    Fool that I was
    Oh, a goddess with wings on her heels
    All my illusions
    Projected on her
    The ideal, that I wanted to see

    What did I know?
    Fool that I was
    A little by little I learned
    My friends were dismayed
    To see me betrayed
    But they knew they could never tell me

    What did I care?
    Fool that I was
    Oh, little by little I burned
    Maybe sometimes
    There might be a flaw
    But how pretty the picture was back then

    What did I do?
    Fool that I was
    To profit from youthful mistakes?
    It's shameful to tell
    How often I fell
    In love with illusions again

    What did I do?
    The fool that I was
    To profit from youthful mistakes?
    So shameful to tell
    Just how often I fell
    In love with illusions again
