Foolish One

[00:00.30] My cards are on the table, yours are in your hand

[00:05.59] Chances are, tonight, you've already got plans

[00:10.59] And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again

[00:19.84] You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high

[00:25.09] Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something's really not right

[00:30.14] And I will block out these voices of reason in my head

[00:38.64] And the voices say, "You are not the exception

[00:45.39] You will never learn your lesson"

[00:50.39] Foolish one

[00:52.14] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[00:56.89] That ain't never gonna come

[01:00.14] You will take the long way, you will take the long way down

[01:09.39] You know how to keep me waitin'

[01:12.19] I know how to act like I'm fine

[01:14.68] Don't know what to call this situation

[01:17.24] But I know I can't call you mine

[01:19.74] And it's delicate, but I will do my best to seem bulletproof

[01:29.24] 'Cause when my head is on your shoulder

[01:32.24] It starts thinkin' you'll come around

[01:34.24] And maybe, someday, when we're older

[01:36.99] This is something we'll laugh about

[01:39.24] Over coffee every mornin' while you're watching the news

[01:47.49] But then the voices say, "You are not the exception

[01:54.49] You will never learn your lesson"

[01:59.49] Foolish one

[02:01.49] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[02:06.24] That ain't never gonna come

[02:09.50] You will take the long way, you will take the long way down

[02:16.74] Foolish one

[02:18.74] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[02:23.50] That ain't never gonna come

[02:26.74] You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out

[02:36.24] Now I'm slidin' down the wall with my head in my hands

[02:40.74] Sayin', "How could I not see the signs?"

[02:44.78] Oh, you haven't written me or called

[02:48.28] But goodbye screamin' in the silence

[02:51.28] And the voices in my head are tellin' me why

[02:59.28] 'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings

[03:03.57] I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring

[03:08.58] And you will say you had the best of intentions

[03:18.39] And maybe I will finally learn my lesson

[03:23.89] Foolish one

[03:25.64] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[03:30.39] That ain't never gonna come

[03:33.64] You will take the long way, you will take the long way down

[03:41.14] Foolish one

[03:42.89] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[03:47.63] That ain't never gonna come

[03:50.90] You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out, oh-oh, oh, oh

[04:00.92] La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, oh

[04:05.93] La-la-la-la-la

[04:08.17] Ain't never gonna come

[04:10.68] Ooh, you will learn the hard way now

[04:20.68] Foolish one

[04:23.17] Sittin' 'round waiting for confessions of love

[04:27.17] They ain't never gonna come

[04:30.43] And thinkin' he's the one, you should've been walkin' out

[04:40.42] Foolish one

[04:42.67] The day is gonna come for your confessions of love

[04:47.68] When all is said and done, he just wasn't the one

[04:54.68] No, he just wasn't the one
