lyrics

Some might think I’ve nothing to say
Like an ordinary girl
Head down, letting you all have the way
That you want
Come night, I study the hundreds of days
That I’ve let demolish me
Sometimes it’s hard to pity a fool
A fool like me

This time, something has broken my heart
And it’s unforgivable
Right through my skin and bones
This might be my mind trying to say
That it’s tired of lying to me
To console this fool
The fool I’ve been

And how many times have I said
“Tonight, tonight’s the night?”
And how many times can a life break down
Before it stops a final time
And how do I know if this is just my show-light
Bringing me down because I like the fight and the blues?
A fool can’t fool herself

One might think I’ve nothing to say
And climb all over me
One day, I’ll find it in me to do something
You might never know how I feel
And that’s how I wanna be
And I’ll watch you leave
A fool like me

And how many times have I said
“Tonight, tonight’s the final night?”
And how many times can a life break down
Before it stops a final time
And how do I know if this is just my show-light
Bringing me down because I like the fight and the blues?
A fool can’t fool herself
