Fools Like Me

Vanessa Carlton

Beware the danger it lurks for those who get swept away 
The dreamers get punished most by truth 
They say it's all in a little ways 
One reveals their love's gone away,
Love's gone away 

When my hand was in your hand
My heart was pure 
Now I see a different man
Rewriting memories 
The dogs run down the beach 
And all I'm left with
Is sand in my shoes,
Sand in my shoes 

Fools like me 
We love blindly 
And the cracks don't count 
It's gotta break in front of me 

Now I recall that time at the caf©,
The thunderstorm outside 
Words you could never say,
They hold the loudest tones 
You say you'll write 
But it's ink on a page,
Just ink on a page 

Fools like me 
Oh we love blindly 
And the cracks don't count 
It's gotta break in front of me

Tic toc the time 
Distant look grows in your eye 
But fools never ask
Afraid of what lurks in your mind 
I always knew, somehow, always knew 
I always knew the truth 

Fools like me 
Oh we never see 
Cause the cracks don't count 
It's gotta break in front of me 
And it's breakin',
It's breakin',
It's breakin'
It's gotta break for me to see 

At least I can say
I was not afraid 
I loved you all the way 
I'd pick the fool any day
