Fools
Jack Gray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I'm gonna lie to myself, I do it all the time
She's heartbroken, I'm just broken
So now I do it all the time
I need to learn to drive, but she'll leave me behind
I need to go down the coastline, can I get a ride?
She's heartbroken, I'm just broken
So now can I get a ride?
Now I've got no friends
How did this happen again?
I need you to stop fucking with them
Now I've got no friends
How did this happen again?
I need you to stop fucking with them
Maybe I'm just a Fool
Fool for loving you
Maybe I'm just a Fool
Fool for loving you
Can you let it slide?
I'm doing the time
Caught her in the act but the fact is that I'd probably take it back tonight
She's still heartbroken
I'm just broken
So now I'm doing the time
Now I've got no friends
How did this happen again?
I need you to stop fucking with them
Now I've got no friends
How did this happen again?
I need you to stop fucking with them
Maybe I'm just a Fool
Fool for loving you
Maybe I'm just a Fool
Fool for loving you
My card got declined 'cause she took it all out
Wasn't really much left
I guess I don't mind 'cause I'm already broke
And now she's under house arrest
Maybe I'm just a Fool
My card got declined 'cause she took it all out
Wasn't really much left
I guess I don't mind 'cause I'm already broke
And now she's under house arrest
Maybe I'm just a Fool
Now I've got no friends
How did this happen again?
I need you to stop fucking with them
Now I've got no friends
How did this happen again?
I need you to stop fucking with them
Maybe I'm just a Fool
Fool for loving you
Maybe I'm just a Fool
Fool for loving you

Caught her in the act but the fact is that I'd probably take it back tonight
I caught her cheating, but I'm still not sure if I'm ready to let go
My card got declined 'cause she took it all out
She used up all my money and now I can't pay for anything
Wasn't really much left
I was already struggling financially before this happened
And now she's under house arrest
She's been caught and is now facing the consequences of her actions
