Love’s Fool
Like a fool I agreed to try once again
Even with my heart so broken and filled with pain
I’d already let go of you and moved on
The trust, the love, the passion long gone
For memories and magic moments
To try and fill the cup of aloneness
With not a word or touch from you
Your cold shoulder I had for 48 hours with nothing to do
But to wait and wonder when the fight will come
Wanting to leave but nowhere to run
Nothing to save, no drowning love to rescue
Finally seeing what I wouldn’t believe, the liar is you
What’s happening to us? There was never an us
It was for what you could take, nothing to discuss
Too many lies, shattered, my heart absolutely broken
I’ve nothing left to give, it’s the end of the free ride you’ve taken
With nothing to say we scream and we shout
I’m packing my bag as you’re throwing me out
I’d leave in an instant but for somewhere to stay
You scream in my face and I push you away
You run back at me, the sound of cloth tearing
Hit so hard, the door my back slamming
I’m a deer in the headlights, it’s almost calming
Your hand round my throat, realisation dawning
This isn’t anger, there's no control
I fight for my life, I give it my all
Fallen but free I think it’s the end
Once again for my life I must defend
I block and I kick ‘till it sends you from me
I run for my life, I run to be free
Lying alone battered and bruised
My heart and my soul numb from being used
I don’t understand why I waited so long
To leave what I knew was so obviously wrong
In magic and love the dreamer believed
By lies and illusion was the dreamer decieved
Like a fool I agreed to try once again
Even with my heart so broken and filled with pain
I’d already let go of you and moved on
The trust, the love, the passion long gone
For memories and magic moments
To try and fill the cup of aloneness
With not a word or touch from you
Your cold shoulder I had for 48 hours with nothing to do
But to wait and wonder when the fight will come
Wanting to leave but nowhere to run
Nothing to save, no drowning love to rescue
Finally seeing what I wouldn’t believe, the liar is you
What’s happening to us? There was never an us
It was for what you could take, nothing to discuss
Too many lies, shattered, my heart absolutely broken
I’ve nothing left to give, it’s the end of the free ride you’ve taken
With nothing to say we scream and we shout
I’m packing my bag as you’re throwing me out
I’d leave in an instant but for somewhere to stay
You scream in my face and I push you away
You run back at me, the sound of cloth tearing
