Fool
Sam Phay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m just a fool who runs to you
When you say you got it figured out
But you ain't got it figured out
And I may believe in something new
I don′t wanna live without
But I might have to live without you

Nobody told me the hardest part of love
Is holding on to something
When it's already gone
I'll fight if you fight for me
But i know that always
You′re gonna leave me broken
You′re gonna leave me broken

I'm just a fool who runs to you
When you say you got it figured out
But you ain′t got it figured out
And I may believe in something new
I don't wanna live without
But I might have to live without

I would fall asleep in a burning room
In flames with you
Just so you don′t leave
Is it love if we keep hurting, keep burning
Just trying to be happy

I'm just a fool who runs to you
When you say you got it figured out
But you ain′t got it figured out
And I may believe in something new
I don't wanna live without
But I might have to leave without

I don't wanna live without you
But I might have to live without you now
I don′t wanna live without you
But I might have to live without you now
I don′t wanna live without you
But I might have to live without you now




I don't wanna live without you
But I might have to live without you now

Overall Meaning

The song "Fool" by Sam Phay is a melancholy ballad about a person who continuously runs back to a partner who they know is not good for them. The singer admits to being a fool who turns to their partner every time they claim to have figured things out, only to realize that their partner still does not have an understanding of their relationship. The singer also acknowledges that they may believe in something new and better for themselves, but they may have to learn to live without their partner in order to attain it.


The song's chorus discusses the challenges of love, particularly the difficulty of holding onto something when it is no longer there. The singer is willing to fight for the relationship only if their partner will reciprocate, but they know that their partner will inevitably leave them feeling broken. The lines, "Is it love if we keep hurting, keep burning / just trying to be happy," suggest that the relationship is based on a desire for temporary happiness, even if it comes at a cost to their emotional well-being.
