April Fool's Day

from Holiday Tripper by Charlie Crane

/

about

This piece of post-Pinkerton power-pop (or possibly pop-punk) seemed to presage a breakup that occurred within two weeks of its composition.

lyrics

I woke up the day after you left me
I looked around my room and felt so scared
I couldn't ever talk about you deftly
Or listen to the music that we shared

And what was love in March was naught but apathy by May
And when you broke my heart, you couldn't have chose a better day
You didn't change your course, you didn't see the damage done
You climbed on your high horse and then you rode into the sun

Because you made me an April Fool
Yeah, you made me an April Fool
Yeah, you made me an April Fool when you went away

I ran into you at a late-night diner
You cocked an eyebrow and asked "how are you?"
I smiled and said "I never have felt finer"
But I could tell you knew it wasn't true

And what was here today is over when the next month ends
Although I heard you say that you still wanted to be friends
The happiness and glee had vanished like a puff of smoke
The time you spent with me was just a practical joke

Because you made me an April Fool
Yeah, you made me an April Fool
Oh, you made me an April Fool when you went away
