I've seen your progress
Stamped out on a bill
You don't look hungry
Only more fat for the kill
Where is the time we spent
It seemed so real
Guess I was mistaken
I thought your world might be worth knowing
'Cause you take it like a man
No I can't conceal the wounds you've opened
Any more than I could understand
No matter how I try
I can't fault your success
Makers of their destiny
Must always deal so
Close to the vest
Take it before it's gone
And listen good
Just in case you've forgotten
I forced you up to keep from crawling
When you did not have a chance
I can't blame you for not recalling
Any more than I could understand
I know the risk that I was taking
That I would not try again
I can't believe the life you're chasing
Any more than I could understand
Don't know where I've been
For I thought I'd listened well
All your warnings,
I've had plenty
You sure had me going
Down to the ringing of a bell
Once again you get the best of me
Once again
Chorus:
But how could I know
When I believed that there were angels
Calling my name
As though they're watching over me
Nobody's home
So I go looking out for trouble
And another story that I can believe
Just another story that I can believe
Don't be frightened babe
You're not guilty for my pain
It's just that I had thought you knew me better
For better or for worse
It seems it always ends the same
Some people never ever learn
Some people
(Repeat Chorus)
I believe you baby
Bring me shades and colors of the truth
Or bring to me someone
I can be free to turn to
And another story that I can believe
Just another story that I can believe
My excuse is only human
Like any animal that breathes
Just to find a scent that's soothing
I give you power over me
I'm more weak than strong
And not a stranger to a fall
But I won't leave you
Till I turn to find you gone
I'm the biggest fool of all
There's no path of least resistance
It's a fable that you've heard
Any love that lacks conviction
Is gonna grovel in the dirt
God this road is long
And surrounded by a wall
But I won't leave you
Till I turn to find you gone
I'm the biggest fool of all
Foolish as the prisoner
That listens for the jangling keys
And smart enough to know
That it's crazy I should run
When you've got no claim on me
So before your panic taunts you
To make relations disappear
You could help to ease my conscience
If just for once by standing here
I'm more weak than strong
And surrounded by a wall
But I won't leave you
Till I turn to find you gone
I'm the biggest fool of all
