Fools
Lauren Aquilina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Those hardest to love need it most
I watched our bodies turn to ghosts
Such good friends, it has to end it always does
That's the way life is
Do we take that risk?

And so it all boils down to this
We've got our aim but we might miss
We are too fragile just to guess
And I've been in this place before
Fine as we are but we want more
That's human nature at its best

What if we ruin it all, and we love like fools?
And all we have we lose?
And I don't want you to go but I want you so
So tell me what we choose

Friends, I watched us as we changed
The feelings in my headspace rearranged
I want you more than I've wanted anyone
Isn't that dangerous?

The anticipation before the kiss
Mirrored in my shaking lips
Oh God I feel so unprepared
The two of us so out of place
My feelings written on my face
Got what I want but now I'm scared

What if we ruin it all, and we love like fools?
And all we have we lose?
And I don't want you to go but I want you so
So tell me what
Tell me what we choose
What we choose
What we choose

What if we ruin it all, and we love like fools?
And all we have we lose?
And I don't want you to go but I want you so
So tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what we choose

Overall Meaning

The song "Fools" by Lauren Aquilina explores the fear and uncertainty that often come with falling in love. The first verse sets the stage by acknowledging that those who are hardest to love are the ones who need it the most. However, despite this truth, relationships often come to an end, as everything in life does. The chorus poses the question of whether it's worth taking the risk of loving someone deeply and potentially losing it all, or if it's better to hold back and play it safe.


The second verse delves deeper into the internal conflicts and emotions of falling in love. The singer feels a strong connection with the other person and desires them more than anyone else they've ever met. However, this intense longing is also dangerous and scary, as it could lead to heartbreak. The bridge of the song highlights the physical and emotional tension present before a kiss, with the singer feeling unprepared and out of place.


Overall, "Fools" portrays the vulnerability and complexities of love, highlighting the constant struggle between taking risks and being cautious.

It makes me sad to know that such beautiful songs like this exist yet the majority of the world is so oblivious to its existence. This song sends chills down my spine, her voice is amazing. 

@classicnobody9872

damsi ismad yeah its sadly relatable

@cuddlybeans896

Oh no they know but they only seen the lyric video from other Chanel’s made and I’m not mad because that is how I I can literally sing every single one of her songs but because those vids are more popular the newer viewer see the more popular views and pic that one. Most of her songs should of been in the millions like this song.

@violethaye6987
