Foolish One (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)

[00:00.63] My cards are on the table, yours are in your hand

[00:05.43] Chances are, tonight, you've already got plans

[00:10.23] And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again

[00:19.92] You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high

[00:25.02] Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something's really not right

[00:29.89] And I will block out these voices of reason in my head

[00:38.47] And the voices say, "You are not the exception

[00:45.10] You will never learn your lesson"

[00:50.16] Foolish one

[00:51.76] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[00:56.87] That ain't never gonna come

[01:00.09] You will take the long way, you will take the long way down

[01:09.65] You know how to keep me waitin'

[01:12.13] I know how to act like I'm fine

[01:14.02] Don't know what to call this situation

[01:17.06] But I know I can't call you mine

[01:19.78] And it's delicate, but I will do my best to seem bulletproof

[01:28.74] 'Cause when my head is on your shoulder

[01:31.67] It starts thinkin' you'll come around

[01:34.06] And maybe, someday, when we're older

[01:36.74] This is something we'll laugh about

[01:38.93] Over coffee every mornin' while you're watching the news

[01:47.38] But then the voices say, "You are not the exception

[01:54.39] You will never learn your lesson"

[01:59.42] Foolish one

[02:01.27] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[02:06.18] That ain't never gonna come

[02:09.11] You will take the long way, you will take the long way down

[02:16.60] Foolish one

[02:18.48] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[02:23.37] That ain't never gonna come

[02:26.56] You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out

[02:35.88] Now I'm slidin' down the wall with my head in my hands

[02:40.87] Sayin', "How could I not see the signs?"

[02:45.08] Oh, you haven't written me or called

[02:47.99] But goodbye screamin' in the silence

[02:50.93] And the voices in my head are tellin' me why

[02:58.81] 'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings

[03:03.38] I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring

[03:08.16] And you will say you had the best of intentions

[03:18.24] And maybe I will finally learn my lesson

[03:23.56] Foolish one

[03:25.41] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[03:29.96] That ain't never gonna come

[03:33.40] You will take the long way, you will take the long way down

[03:40.85] Foolish one

[03:42.72] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[03:47.23] That ain't never gonna come

[03:50.72] You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out, oh-oh, oh, oh

[04:00.53] La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, oh

[04:05.60] La-la-la-la-la

[04:07.71] Ain't never gonna come

[04:10.46] Ooh, you will learn the hard way now

[04:20.31] Foolish one

[04:23.04] Sittin' 'round waiting for confessions of love

[04:27.33] They ain't never gonna come

[04:29.98] And thinkin' he's the one, you should've been walkin' out

[04:40.04] Foolish one

[04:42.43] The day is gonna come for your confessions of love

[04:47.50] When all is said and done, he just wasn't the one

[04:54.28] No, he just wasn't the one
