Like a fool
Schuyler Fisk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well heaven knows that I've been bad
So many things that I regret
Now an empty side of the bed
It's what I get
That's what I get
Well I know I should walk away
But it's hard to do 'n' easy to say
Nothing to blame on good intentions
Intentions

I'm out of my head
Like a fool – I know it
My eyes seein' red every time you go out
And this is the best that my heart can offer
I'm out of my head
Like a fool

Like a ghost I follow you
In every room you walk into
But you never see me
Do you?
Cause you don't want to
You don't want to

I'm out of my head
Like a fool – I know it
My eyes seein' red every time you go out
And this is the best that my heart can offer
I'm out of my head
Like a fool

Remember a day when our love wasn't fadin'?
You're so far away can you see them breakin' me?
What I say? What I say?
I'm sorry now

Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba

I'm out of my head
Like a fool – I know it
My eyes seein' red every time you go out
And this is the best that my heart can offer
I'm out of my head
Like a fool

I'm out of my head
Like a fool – I know it
My eyes seein' red every time you go out
And this is the best that my heart can offer
I'm out of my head
Like a fool





I'm out of my head
Like a fool...
