lyrics

Wouldn’t be the first time love made a fool of me
I showed you everything you weren’t supposed to see
Now you saw my dark eyes
You know how my heart hides
Wish that I knew the same about you

I think this time I’ll go and get a bit too close
And when I lose you you’ll be my favorite ghost
That makes me drive through town
Right by your old house
Past the shadows on the wrong side of the street

While I was breaking my own rules
You were just playing it cool
I was so ready to be your fool
I was so ready to be your fool

Let’s go ahead and put some miles in between
It’s a temporary way to sew up every seam
Now you’re done hanging round here
You’re seeing it so clear
But you never tell me where you’d rather be

Well I’ve been breaking my own rules
Letting you treat me so cruel
While you’re playing it so cool
I was so ready to be your fool
I was so ready to be your fool
I was so ready to be your fool
I was so ready to be your fool
