Fool Yourself
Judy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting on you
For so long
I've been thinking 'bout you
I can't wait, needing you
So close
I know you feel this too
I've been dreaming 'bout you
Come home
Can you fool yourself
Thinking 'bout something else
Denying all these feelings
That you feel
Are you questioning yourself
Is this real
Do you have your answers now
You thought you needed then
Were you looking for yourself
Did you know where to begin
Don't be scared
Why would you be
If this wasn't meant for us
You'd stop looking for me
When the rain becomes the sun
Your faith will appear
Lay me by your side
I can take away your fears
Can you fool yourself
Thinking 'bout something else
Denying all these feelings
That you feel
Are you questioning yourself
Is this real
Do you have your answers now
You thought you needed then
Were you looking for yourself
Did you know where to begin
To begin
Did you know where to begin
To begin
Can you fool yourself
Thinking 'bout something else
Denying all these feelings
That you feel
Are you questioning yourself
Is this real
Do you have your answers now
You thought you needed then




Were you looking for yourself
Did you know where to begin
