The Fool
Ryn Weaver Lyrics

And now I see technicolor
My perspective has shifted and everything is brighter and more vivid

A movie-script lover
You're someone who loves the idea of love and romance, like it's straight out of a movie

You chase me while I play the clown, oh
You pursue me while I act like a jokester or a clown, not wanting to take things too seriously

But then you know, oh
But eventually, you figure me out

I tend to stack the deck with wild cards
I have a habit of setting up scenarios where there are unpredictable factors or risks involved

You're betting all you've got on a broken heart
You're risking everything on a person who's been hurt before, and may not be able to give you what you need

I say don't
I warn you not to get too invested, but...

But now you know oh
You learn the hard way that I wasn't joking when I said you shouldn't get your hopes up

So I curse my stars for a fair game
I blame fate for dealing me a hand that's not in my favor, or for giving me what I deserve

While you nurse my scars and the old flame
While you try to heal my wounds from past relationships, and reignite old feelings

I'm a fool for you, I'm a fool for
I'm willing to do anything for you, even if it doesn't make sense, or doesn't benefit me

If I let you down, like I tend to
If I disappoint you, which is a common occurrence for me

And now I see shades of roses
My view of love is more complex than before, with different shades representing various emotions

Your love I suppose is an ocean
Your love is deep and vast, with many hidden depths and secrets

The ebb and the flow, oh
There are fluctuations in our relationship, with times of intense passion followed by moments of detachment or uncertainty

And undertow, oh
There's a hidden force beneath the surface that can pull us apart if we're not careful

But I can feel the rogue inside my veins
I have a rebellious streak that can't be tamed or controlled

A wave to crash the castle we made of sand
An event or feeling that will sweep away all the illusions we've built up about our relationship, leaving us exposed and vulnerable

Oh, I hope
I'm not sure what will happen, but I'm optimistic

It doesn't show-oh
I'm trying to hide my fears and doubts from you

Old dog, new treat a shorter leash
An old habit or pattern has resurfaced, but with a new twist that makes it harder to ignore, and requires more control

I cannot breathe, I lock the door
I'm suffocating under the weight of my emotions, and I need to isolate myself to regain some sense of calm

You flood the gate
You're overwhelming me with your presence or your demands

Tic tic, too late but still you know
Time is running out, but you're aware of how I feel

I'm a fool for
I'm vulnerable to your charms or your influence, even if it's not in my best interest

I'm a fool for you
I'm willing to risk everything for you, even if it means I'll get hurt or disappointed in the end
