Fools Lyrics

Speak the words that I still will not confess

The truth that I never should express

That lately I do not believe

Where were you when the world became unkind

When I was a child left behind

Am I less hopeful or naive

But does it even really matter

If in the end I still pretend

When the roof comes down around me

Know I may reach out again

And though you may be just a myth

Meant to help some fools with facing the unknown

Oh, I'd rather be a fool than be alone

Tell me there is a place for us someday

Tell me you'll take me far away

And I might trust you as before

But your messages never get across

How long can I wait for a response

I think my cries have gone ignored

But does it even really matter

If in the end I still pretend

When the roof comes down around me

Know I may reach out again

And though you may be just a myth

Meant to help some fools with facing the unknown

Oh, I'd rather be a fool than be alone, oh

Ooh, you give me just enough concern

To make sure I will still return

Ooh, there's just enough that you provide

I still cannot toss you aside

But does it even really matter

If in the end I still pretend

When the roof comes down around me

Well, know I may reach out again

And though you may be just a myth

Meant to help some fools with facing the unknown

Oh, I'd rather be a fool than be alone

Yeah, I'd rather be a fool than be
