Foolish
Tyler James Lyrics

See my days are cold without you
The absence of your love leaves me feeling empty and lonely

But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
Being with you causes me pain and suffering

And though my heart can't take no more
I've been hurt so many times that my heart is vulnerable and weak

I keep on running back to you
Despite the hurt you cause me, I can't resist coming back to you because of my love for you

Baby I don't know why ya treat me so bad
I'm confused and hurt by the way you treat me poorly

You said you loved me, no one above me
You promised me your love and devotion, and that nobody else would come before me

And I was all you had
I believed that I was the most important person in your life

And though my heart is beating for ya
My heart still beats for you despite the pain you cause me

I can't stop crying
The emotional trauma you inflict on me is overwhelming, and I can't stop crying

I don't know how
I'm at a loss for how I've let you treat me this way, but I'm still here

I allow you to treat me this way and still I stay
I recognize that you treat me unfairly, but I stay despite it because I still love you

Baby I don't know why ya wanna do me wrong
I'm hurt and confused as to why you would treat me so poorly

See when I'm home, I'm all alone
When you're not here, I feel lonely and abandoned

And you are always gone
You're always absent, leaving me by myself

And boy, you know I really love you
You know that I'm deeply in love with you

I can't deny
I can't ignore or lie about my feelings for you

I can't see how you could bring me to so many tears
I'm unable to understand why you cause me so much emotional pain

After all these years
Despite being together for a long time, you still hurt me in the same way

Oohhhhh
Sound of emotional pain and heartbreak

I trusted you, I trusted you
I had faith in you and believed in your love for me

So sad, so sad
The situation is heartbreaking and tragic

What love will make you do
Love can make you do irrational and painful things

All the things that we accept
We tolerate behaviors and actions that shouldn't be acceptable because of our love for each other

Be the things that we regret
The things we accept become the things we regret later on

Too all of my ladies (ladies) feel me
I want all women who have experienced similar situations to understand and relate to what I'm going through

C'mon sing wit me
Join me in this emotional and painful journey

See, when I get the strength to leave you
I sometimes gather enough courage to leave you and our toxic relationship

Always tell me that you need me
You have a way of pulling me back in by telling me that you need me

And I'm weak cause I believe you
I'm emotionally weak and vulnerable to your manipulations, and I believe you when you say you need me

And I'm mad because I love you
I'm angry and frustrated because despite your poor treatment of me, I still love you deeply

So I stop and think that may be
At times, I stop and reflect on whether you'll ever appreciate or love me the way I need you to

You can learn to appreciate me
I hope that one day, you can learn to value and appreciate my love for you

Then it all remains the same that
But regardless of my hope, the situation remains the same

You ain't never gonna change
I've come to accept that you'll never change your hurtful ways

Baby why you hurt me leave me and desert me
I'm hurting and feeling abandoned by your actions.

Boy I gave you all my heart
You have my complete love and devotion

And all you did was tear it up
You've destroyed and broken my heart

Looking out my window
Feeling hopeless and depressed

Knowing that I should go
Knowing that I should leave you and move on

Even when I pack my bags
Even though I prepare to leave, I can't bring myself to do it

See something always holds me back
There's always something—my love for you, maybe—that stops me from leaving you behind
