Fool
Rollins Band Lyrics

I should have seen my end coming from a long way off
I should have known that this was not going to end well, but I ignored my instincts and continued on a path of self-destruction.

My friend said. man, she'll give you the blues so man..
My friend warned me that this relationship would be trouble, but I didn't listen and went ahead anyway.

Don't get caught but I went right ahead and told myself
Despite my friend's warning, I foolishly convinced myself that the relationship would work out in my favor.

A pack of lies and spend night after hammered night
I deluded myself into believing in a false reality and tried to numb the pain with alcohol.

Getting back my mind
Struggling to regain control of my thoughts and emotions.

I am a fool when I need you, I'm a fool to believe
Even though I know deep down that you're no good for me, I continue to hold onto the hope that things will somehow work out.

My heart is so wide open, I'm so easy to deceive
I wear my heart on my sleeve and am vulnerable to being manipulated and taken advantage of.

I'm a fool, I'll keep believing, I'm a fool, I believe it all
Despite all evidence to the contrary, I refuse to give up hope and continue to cling to false promises and illusions of happiness.

I'm a fool who'll keep on trying and like a fool I will crawl
I will persist in pursuing a doomed relationship, and will humiliate myself in the process.

I waste my time in my mind thinking of you
I obsessively dwell on thoughts of you, even though I know it's unhealthy and unproductive.

I am a fool I know
I am aware of my foolishness and self-destructive behavior, but I can't seem to stop.

I should be healing myself instead of hurting myself
Instead of trying to move on and heal from the pain caused by this relationship, I continue to inflict further harm on myself.

And it hurts to keep learning the same, lessons and pain
I keep repeating the same mistakes and experiencing the same heartaches, despite my better judgement.

Self mutilation is the only thing that I know, I'm a fool I know
Instead of dealing with my emotions in a healthy way, I turn to self-destructive behaviors to cope with the pain.

I've seen your front teeth sharpen and I've watched
I've witnessed the true, predatory nature of your character.

Your muscles fles, you have the kind of eyes That turn mere mortals into wrecks
You exude a dangerous, seductive energy that is impossible to resist.

I know first hand so well, all the hard times you direct
I have experienced firsthand the emotional abuse and manipulation that you are capable of.

Seduced, rejected, reduced, ejected...again...
You seduce me, then reject and humiliate me, reducing me to nothing. And yet I keep allowing this cycle to continue.

You can do anything you want
You have power and control over me, and I am powerless to resist you.

You all tell your city's calling after you
Others are also drawn to your dangerous charisma and predatory nature, and you use this to your advantage.

I am a fool, I know, because it's all I know, I am a fool I know
Despite my awareness of my foolishness and the destructive nature of this relationship, I am unable to change my ways and continue to pursue it.

I know, I know, yeah, I am a fool I know, Yeah
I am painfully aware of my own foolishness, but feel powerless to stop it.
