Fool
Endanger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hear you scream
I thought I had it under control
but I see you weep
and I know that I´ve been a fool

I tried so hard to think everything is okay
I tried so hard to be patient
but I´m not today
that´s why we´re crying here

it should be ending here
after so much harm is done
you don´t depend on me - you never did
but that is something I have known

do you hate me ?
did you ever feel for me at all ?
you just tore it all apart
you broke my heart and crushed my soul

And I hear you scream
I thought I had it under control
but I see you weep
and I know that I´ve been a fool

I tried so hard to think everything is okay
I tried so hard to be patient
but I´m not today
that´s why we´re crying here

did you ever think
that some good words will do ? (After all you've done to me)
I´ve been suffering, I´ve been paralized
and all because of you

why did you come back ?
there was no reason to go on
you should have better left for good
I hate the person you´ve become

And I hear you scream

And I hear you scream
I thought I had it under control
but I see you weep
and I know that I´ve been a fool

I tried so hard to think everything is okay
I tried so hard to be patient




but I´m not today
that´s why we´re crying here
