The Fool

Now I won't be alone
Despite my best effort with an engaged phone
Door that stayed locked for years
I'm surprised that the hinges don't blow out my ears

When you came in, it was a world in storm
And all those awful things became a simple chore
In the place I lived, you made a house a home, and
With a flick of your wrist, you let out the ghost

Now the fool you knew
Is now a fool for you
It would seem the best-laid plans I've been standing on
Have fallen through

There's no sword no more
There's no hail of bullets from a cold-eye draw
All the pictures came off my wall
I was trapped in their frames, in everyone, I was falling

But when you came in, it was a world in storm
And all those awful things became a simple chore
In the place I lived, you made a house a home
And with a flick of your wrist, you let out the ghost

Now the fool you knew
Is now a fool for you
And the best-laid plans I've been standing on
Just fell through

The fool you knew
Is now a fool for you
The best-laid plans I've been standing on
Have fallen through

The fool you knew
Is now a fool for you
And I guess the best-laid plans that we stand on
We get a handle on, but then fall through
