Fool
Callista Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dyeing my hair pink on your kitchen floor
Laughing 'bout how funny it would be if we were more
I see how I could've misinterpreted the signs
Guess I was blinded by your blatant lies
Counting the stars lying on your lawn
Caffeinated as we gazed upon the sky at dawn
Meeting your parents, holding hands, whispering, "I love you"
I guess that's what just friends do
Come over just to ignore me
Flirt with my friends, leave me lonely
It's my fault to have cared
Why do I search for love where it's not there
I hope you know that I'm resenting
Wish you'd just stop with all of your pretending
Like you had no clue that I loved you
If you're that dumb then
You're the fool
Sorries don't change a single thing
Or the excuses for what you did
'Cause you led me on for that you're cruel
If you don't think so
You're the fool
(You're the fool)
Look back at photographs of you and me
And see how much we change between every week
I should've known when the "I miss you's" turned into "reads"
And I was so blue when you talked to her instead
And it's not like you weren't allowed
To go out, meet people, find someone else
It's just you told me, baby, "you are mine"
Guess that's your favorite line
Professed that you could've loved me (you loved me)
Then proved that we could never be (never be)
And, yet, I somehow fell
How can a snake feel more like a spell, oh
I hope you know that I'm resenting
Wish you'd just stop with all of your pretending
Like you had no clue that I loved you
If you're that dumb then
You're the fool
Sorries don't change a single thing
Or the excuses for what you did
'Cause you led me on for that you're cruel
If you don't think so
You're the fool
Dyeing hair on your floor
Wishing that we were more
I didn't see the signs
Between all of your lies
Count stars while on your lawn
Watch sunrises at dawn
I didn't see the signs
Between all of your lies
I hope you know that I'm resenting
Wish you'd just stop with all of your pretending
Like you had no clue that I loved you
If you're that dumb then
You're the fool
Sorries don't change a single thing
Or the excuses for what you did
'Cause you led me on for that you're cruel
If you don't think so




You're the fool
(Hahah)

Overall Meaning

In "FOOL" by Callista, the lyrics tell the story of a person who finds themselves in a complicated and unrequited love situation. The opening lines, "Dyeing my hair pink on your kitchen floor, Laughing 'bout how funny it would be if we were more," suggest a lighthearted and playful moment between two friends. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer feels misled and hurt by the other person's actions.


The lyrics reveal that the singer may have misinterpreted the signs and was blinded by the other person's blatant lies. They reflect on moments spent together, such as counting stars on the lawn and meeting each other's parents, which gave them hope for a deeper connection. However, the other person seems to treat the singer as just a friend, coming over and ignoring them while also flirting with their friends. This leaves the singer feeling lonely, as they harbor unreciprocated feelings.


The emotions intensify as the singer expresses resentment towards the other person's behavior. They wish the other person would stop pretending not to know about the singer's love for them. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and disappointment, implying that the other person's actions were cruel and hurtful. The singer questions why they continue to search for love where it does not exist, suggesting a realization that the relationship was one-sided and the other person was not truly interested in them.


The song also explores the singer's reflection on how things have changed. Looking back at photographs, they notice the transformation in both themselves and the relationship. The change from "I miss you's" to the other person simply "reading" the singer's messages brings about a feeling of sadness and realization that their connection is deteriorating. Despite the other person's freedom to meet new people and move on, the lyrics highlight the pain caused by the promise of exclusivity.


In the end, the singer acknowledges that apologies and excuses from the other person do not change what has happened. The lyrics assert that the actions taken by the other person were hurtful and cruel. The singer labels the other person as a fool for not realizing the depth of their love or acknowledging the pain they have caused. The repetition of the line "If you don't think so, you're the fool" reinforces the singer's belief that the other person is the one being foolish in this situation.


Overall, "FOOL" explores the complexities of unrequited love, the disappointment of unmet expectations, and the resentment that can arise from feeling led on. It captures the raw emotions and frustrations of someone who realizes they were deeply invested in a relationship that was never reciprocated.
