Foolish Heart
Magnum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No more footsteps, I'm alone
From her sad eyes tears are falling
Once again I'm on my own
Through the wind I hear her calling

Many days have come and gone
At the thought of me returning
Will I be the only one?
Was the lesson worth learning?

Foolish heart
You've let me down
Foolish heart
Turn me around
Foolish heart
Don't break in two
Foolish heart
Where are you?

Thinking now it has begun
Time to wind up all the hours
The biggest fools under the sun
Are locked away in empty towers

Foolish heart
You've let me down
Foolish heart
Turn me around
Foolish heart
Don't break in two
Foolish heart
Where are you?

Foolish heart
You've let me down
Foolish heart
Turn me around
Foolish heart
Don't break in two
Foolish heart
I'm relying on you

Foolish heart
Foolish heart
Foolish heart
Foolish heart
I'm relying on you

Foolish heart
Foolish heart
Foolish heart




Foolish heart
I'm relying on you
