Only A Fool
Reilly Maggie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know there's a first time for these feelings
Speak to me, show me the way now
Are my hopes all empty dreams or must we say goodbye
Couldn't believe my heart could be broken
Didn't you know my defences were down
Now all those words we left unspoken
Couldn't you see it in the beginning
Wasn't it obvious right from the start
Only a fool believes he's winning
When he's lost his ace of hearts
Only a fool
Please, don't walk away now
Why do you hurt me with your silence
I can't understand this game you are playing
Lately it's been on my mind I had to let you know
Couldn't believe my heart could be broken
Didn't you know my defences were down
Now all those words we left unspoken
Turned my whole world upside down
Couldn't you see it in the beginning
Wasn't it obvious right from the start
Only a fool believes he's winning
When he's lost his ace of hearts
Couldn't believe my heart could be broken
Didn't you know my defences were down
Now all those words we left unspoken
Turned my whole world upside down
Couldn't you see it in the beginning
Wasn't it obvious right from the start
Only a fool believes he's winning
When he's lost his ace of hearts
Couldn't believe my heart could be broken
Didn't you know my defences were down
Now all those words we left unspoken
Turned my whole world upside down
Couldn't you see it in the beginning
Wasn't it obvious right from the start
Only a fool believes he's winning
When he's lost his ace of hearts
The song "Only A Fool" by Reilly Maggie is a powerful ballad that explores the heart-wrenching emotions of a person who has lost their lover. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation, as the singer pleads with their partner to stay and to show them the way forward. There is a sense of confusion and hurt as the singer tries to understand the reasons behind the breakup.
The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer begging their partner not to turn away and questioning whether their hopes are just empty dreams. They are searching for guidance and desperately want to know if they should say goodbye for good. As the song continues, it becomes clear that the singer's heart is broken and they are struggling to come to terms with the end of the relationship.
The chorus provides the central theme of the song - that only a fool believes they can win when they have lost their 'ace of hearts'. The imagery of a game of cards highlights the sense of fate and finality that the singer feels. They are in a situation where they have lost something irreplaceable, and however much they may try to convince themselves that they can still win, the reality is that they are no longer in control.
Overall, "Only A Fool" is a raw and emotional exploration of a difficult breakup. The lyrics are filled with pain, sadness and confusion, and convey the sense of loss that the singer feels.
