I've Been A Fool
Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting
Waiting for a new day
I've been waiting
Waiting for a new day
To come around and wash away
My pain

I've been fading
Fading from a distance
I've been trading
Trading my resistance
Hoping that you'd come around again

I'm debating
Will I find persistence?
Or create it
Bring a new existence
Takes away what holding on to is

I've been waiting
Waiting for a new day
I've been waiting
Waiting for a new day




Come around and wash away
My pain
