Fools Like Me - Vanessa Carlton

Beware the danger it lurks for those who get swept away

The dreamers get punished most by the truth they say

It’s all in the little ways one reveals their

Love’s gone away, love’s gone away

When my hand was in you hand, my heart was pure

And now I see a different man, rewriting memories

The dogs run down the beach and all I’m left with is

Sand in my shoes, sand in my shoes

Cause fools like me

Oh, we love blindly

And the cracks don’t count

It’s gotta break in front of me

Now I recall that time at the cafe

The thunderstorm outside, words you could never say

They hold the loudest tones, you say you’ll write

But it’s ink on a page, just ink on a page

With fools like me

Oh, we love blindly

And the cracks don’t count

It’s gotta break in front of me

And tick-tock the time, distant look grows in your eyes

Fools never ask, afraid what lurks in your mind

I always knew, somehow always knew

I always knew the truth

'Cause fools like me

Oh, we never see

Cause the cracks don’t count

Its gotta break in front of me

And it’s breaking

It’s breaking

It’s breaking

It’s gotta break for me to see

At least I can say

I was not afraid

I loved you all the way

I’d pick the fool any day
