You made a fool of me
Love and Basketball Soundtrack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I couldn’t stand your flaws
although you were yourself with them
That was the best and hardest we could do

We shared it all together. I gave you
all that I had inside, deep down in me.
I thought this was the start of my new life
the one that that brings your wife and all your three kids look like you.

You didn’t learn me
I learned from my mistakes again
You really made me
You really made me better

I looked at your eyes, being at your side,
I wasn’t able to see the impending sorrow
Time heals it all and makes you see the best
you see your big mistakes turn into a huge success.

You didn’t learn me...

You didn’t learn me
I learned from my mistakes again
You really made me
You really made me better

You really made me
You really made me love




You really made me
You really made me better

I remember when you filled my heart with joy
Was I blind to the truth just there to fill the space?
'Cause now you have no interest in anything I have to say
And I have allowed you to make me feel dumb
What kind of fool am I that you so easily set me aside

You made a fool of me
Tell me why
You say that you don't care that we made love
Tell me why
You made a fool of me.. you made a fool of me

I want to kiss you
Does she want you with the pain that I do?
I smell you in my dreams
But now when we're face to face you won't look me in the eye
No time, No friendship, No love

You say don't touch you
I can't touch you anymore
Can't touch you any more, any more
I don't touch you anymore

You made a fool of me
Tell me why
You say that you don't care that we made love
Tell me why
You made a fool of me, you made a fool of me

This song hits different when you realize you have abandoned yourself, trying to compromise with someone who doesn’t know the treasure of who you are. It’s what we do to ourselves.

Been through this... Learning to love and value yourself is the best gift you can give to youself. When that happens it doesn't matter who doesn't want you because you know it's his/her loss if they walk away from you 🙏🏾❤️

@aijaturner6984

It really hurts when someone leads you on for so long thinking that you're gonna be something real and then they turn around and make a fool of you
