Fools Like Me

Beware the danger, it lurks for those who get swept away The dreamers get punished most by the truth they say It's all in the little ways one reveals their love's gone away Love's gone away When my hand was in your hand my heart was pure And now I see a different man Rewriting memories The dogs run down the beach And all I'm left with is sand in my shoes Sand in my shoes 'Cause fools like me Oh we love blindly And the cracks don't count It's gotta break in front of me Now I recall the time at the cafe The thunderstorm outside Words you could never say They hold the loudest tones They say you're right But it's ink on a page Just ink on a page But fools like me Oh we love blindly And the cracks don't count It's gotta break in front of me Tick-tock the time Distant look grows in your eyes And fools never ask Afraid what lurks in your eyes I always knew, somehow always knew I always knew the truth Cause fools like me Oh we never see And the cracks don't count It's gotta break in front of me And it's breaking It's breaking It's gotta break for me to see At least I can say I was not afraid I loved you all the way And I'd pick the fool any day --- Fools Like Me - Vanessa Carlton
