Foolish One (Taylor's Version)
[00:01.57] My cards are on the table, yours are in your hands
[00:05.82] Chances are tonight you've already got plans
[00:10.60] And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again
[00:20.16] You give me just enough attention
[00:23.08] To keep my hopes too high
[00:26.00] Wishful thoughts forget to mention
[00:28.65] When something's really not right
[00:30.26] And I will block out these voices of reason in my head
[00:39.55] And the voices say, "You are not the exception
[00:45.39] You will never learn your lesson
[00:50.44] Foolish one
[00:52.56] Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love
[00:57.61] That ain't never gonna come
[01:00.80] You will take the long way
[01:02.93] You will take the long way down"
[01:10.10] You know how to keep me waiting
[01:12.75] I know how to act like I'm fine
[01:14.61] Don't know what to call this situation
[01:17.27] But I know I can't call you mine
[01:19.65] And it's delicate, but I will do my best to seem bulletproof
[01:29.49] 'Cause when my head is on your shoulder
[01:32.67] It starts thinking you'll come around
[01:34.27] And maybe someday when we're older
[01:37.19] This is something we'll laugh about
[01:39.32] Over coffee every morning while you're watching the news
[01:49.93] But then the voices say, "You are not the exception
[01:50.21] You will never learn your lesson
[01:59.50] Foolish one
[02:01.90] Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love
[02:04.28] That ain't never gonna come
[02:10.12] You will take the long way
[02:12.25] You will take the long way down
[02:17.03] Foolish one
[02:19.42] Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love
[02:23.69] That ain't never gonna come
[02:26.88] You will have to learn the hard way instead of walking out"
[02:32.20] Now I'm sliding down the wall with my head in my hands
[02:41.51] Saying, "How could I not see the signs?"
[02:45.75] Oh, you haven't written me or called
[02:48.67] But goodbye screaming in the silence
[02:51.86] And the voices in my head are telling me why
[02:59.29] 'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings
[03:01.96] I'll get your longing glances but she'll get your ring
[03:09.13] And you will say you had the best of intentions
[03:18.95] And maybe I will finally learn my lesson
[03:24.00] Foolish one
[03:26.13] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
[03:30.64] That ain't never gonna come
[03:34.09] You will take the long way
[03:36.22] You will take the long way down
[03:41.00] Foolish one
[03:43.39] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love
[03:47.91] That ain't never gonna come
[03:51.10] You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out
[03:57.73] Oh-oh, oh, oh
[04:01.46] La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, oh
[04:05.97] La-la-la-la-la
[04:08.62] Ain't never gonna come
[04:11.56] Ooh, you will learn the hard way now
[04:20.58] Foolish one
[04:23.24] Sittin' 'round waiting for confessions of love
[04:35.98] They ain't never gonna come
[04:36.52] And thinkin' he's the one
[04:37.05] You should've been walkin' out
[04:37.59] Foolish one
[04:43.16] The day is gonna come for your confessions of love
[04:47.95] When all is said and done
[04:50.34] He just wasn't the one
[04:52.47] No, he just wasn't the one
