Fools Like Me

If forgiveness and real

Second chances are gone

Then I don't know how long

This dance can go on

Before everything crashes

And fire breaks out

And out of the ashes

Steps cripples of doubt

Doubting their lovers

Doubting their looks

Judging all covers

And burning all books

Writing new rules

For their own private war

Looking for fools

Saying it was better before

Fools like me

Fools like me

Dreaming of a world that used to be

Fools like me

I've never been smartest

I've stayed in the back

For those who think hardest

Like trains on a track

Are bound to keep moving

Bound to engage

While I'm free to die like

A dog in a cage

Sleeping in silence and

Minding my own

Blocking out sirens and

Hearing no phone

Just sweet reminiscing of

Life as a child

I'm busy missing

While the fire runs wild

Fools like me

Fools like me

Living in a world that used to be

Fools like me

If forgiveness and real

Second chances are gone

Then I guess I'm all

Out of plans from now on

I don't have the courage

The brains or the balls

To stand up and rip out

The chains from the walls

Burn all my bridges and

Blow up my boat

I'm somewhat religious but

I don't think I'll float

I'm scared I would drown

In an ocean of scorn

Who'll stick around

Who's gonna morn

Fools like me

Fools like me

Dreaming of a world that used to be

Fools like me
