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

[00:01.05] My cards are on the table, yours are in your hand

[00:05.56] Chances are, tonight, you've already got plans

[00:10.34] And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again

[00:19.91] You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high

[00:24.95] Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something's really not right

[00:30.27] And I will block out these voices of reason in my head

[00:38.50] And the voices say, "You are not the exception

[00:45.14] You will never learn your lesson"

[00:50.19] Foolish one

[00:51.78] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[00:56.83] That ain't never gonna come

[01:00.02] You will take the long way, you will take the long way down

[01:09.58] You know how to keep me waitin'

[01:11.97] I know how to act like I'm fine

[01:14.36] Don't know what to call this situation

[01:17.02] But I know I can't call you mine

[01:19.67] And it's delicate, but I will do my best to seem bulletproof

[01:28.97] 'Cause when my head is on your shoulder

[01:31.89] It starts thinkin' you'll come around

[01:34.02] And maybe, someday, when we're older

[01:36.94] This is something we'll laugh about

[01:39.33] Over coffee every mornin' while you're watching the news

[01:47.56] But then the voices say, "You are not the exception

[01:54.47] You will never learn your lesson"

[01:59.25] Foolish one

[02:01.11] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[02:05.89] That ain't never gonna come

[02:09.34] You will take the long way, you will take the long way down

[02:16.78] Foolish one

[02:18.64] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[02:23.16] That ain't never gonna come

[02:26.61] You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out

[02:35.91] Now I'm slidin' down the wall with my head in my hands

[02:40.69] Sayin', "How could I not see the signs?"

[02:44.94] Oh, you haven't written me or called

[02:48.13] But goodbye screamin' in the silence

[02:50.78] And the voices in my head are tellin' me why

[02:58.75] 'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings

[03:03.53] I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring

[03:08.31] And you will say you had the best of intentions

[03:18.41] And maybe I will finally learn my lesson

[03:23.45] Foolish one

[03:25.31] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[03:30.09] That ain't never gonna come

[03:33.55] You will take the long way, you will take the long way down

[03:40.99] Foolish one

[03:42.58] Stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love

[03:45.24] That ain't never gonna come

[03:50.81] You will learn the hard way instead of just walkin' out, oh-oh, oh, oh

[04:00.91] La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, oh

[04:03.56] La-la-la-la-la

[04:08.08] Ain't never gonna come

[04:10.73] Ooh, you will learn the hard way now

[04:20.30] Foolish one

[04:22.96] Sittin' 'round waiting for confessions of love

[04:27.20] They ain't never gonna come

[04:30.12] And thinkin' he's the one, you should've been walkin' out

[04:40.22] Foolish one

[04:42.88] The day is gonna come for your confessions of love

[04:47.66] When all is said and done, he just wasn't the one

[04:54.30] No, he just wasn't the one
