Fool

all of a sudden i forgave you
i don't hate you anymore.
the tears in your eyes showed me
how scared you really are inside

and oh boy,
all that fear, all that hate
now you know i used to feel the same way
i had to get a drink or two
to see this whole new part of you

i'm only a fool when it comes to you

and even though your eyes finally
told the truth
and even though your arms wrapped tightly around me
clinging, bringing you close to me
a part of me still won't believe it's true

and oh boy,
all your fear, all your hate,
now i know you used to feel this way
you had to get a drink or two
to show this whole new part of you

everything suddenly makes sense
you hated me not to hate yourself
i know the rules i've played your game
'cause i'm only a fool when it comes to you

i'm looking for a reason,
even an excuse,
'cause your love for me was never true,
but it's easy to believe in a lie
than stick to the truth 'cause i'm just a fool
i'm just a fool...

but everything finally makes sense
you hated me not to hate yourself
i know the rules, i played the game
'cause i'm only a fool when it comes
to you.
