A Fool Such as I
Baillie & the Boys Lyrics

You throw away
You have abandoned our relationship

The love we share
The affection that we both have for each other

You push me down
You are treating me unkindly

And don't play fair
You are unjust in your treatment of me

You go and break my heart
You have caused me emotional pain by ending our relationship

With broken ends no one will change
Since our relationship is over, there is nothing that can be done to fix it

We'll never ever rearrange
We won't be able to reestablish our relationship as it was before

But I
Despite all of this

I will survive
I will overcome the pain and continue on with my life

I'm not a fool
I am not naive or foolish enough to believe your lies

I won't believe in your eyes
I am not going to let your deceit control me

You covered me with heartache
You caused me significant emotional pain

When you're telling me lies
With your dishonest words and actions

But now I'm gonna leave you behind
I am going to move on from our relationship

Now that you're treating me cruel
Since you are being unkind to me

Don't talk about emotions
Don't try to manipulate me with feelings or emotions

For I've heard it before
I have heard those types of words from you already

And you won't bring me down no more
You won't be able to harm me emotionally anymore

It's just a phase
The pain and sadness will not last forever

I'm going through
I am experiencing this period of sadness

Some nights or days when I'll be blue
Periods of sadness or melancholy will come and go

Don't think I'll call your name
I won't reach out to you or try to rekindle our relationship

Don't think that I
You shouldn't think that I am weak or unable to move on

Could never win
I am perfectly capable of thriving without you

So look at me
Pay attention to me and see that I am doing well

For here I am
I am present and surviving without you

I'll make you fade away
I will eventually forget about you and move on
