Fool
Martha Da'ro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I've been a fool
For letting you go
I know I′ve been a fool
I know I've been a fool
For letting you go
Heavenly tears, I'm walking in the rain
Memories keeping me chained
Oh lord, I know I′ve been a fool
I′ll be lying if I say
"I want you to be happy without me"
I'll be lying if I say
"I want you to get over me"
I know I′ve been a fool (such a fool baby)
I know I've been a fool (such a fool baby)
I know I′ve been a fool (such a fool baby)
For letting you go
I know I've been a fool (such a fool baby)
I know I′ve been a fool (such a fool baby)
I know I've been a fool (such a fool baby)
For letting you go
Tears on your face
They carried my name
Still I'm too selfish to let you go
Tears on your face (tears on your face)
They carried my name (they carried my name)
Still I′m too selfish to let you go (I′m too selfish to let you go)
Tears on your face (tears on your face)
They carried my name (they carried my name)
Still I'm too selfish to let you go (I′m too selfish to let you go)
