[Verse 1] I hear you singing my praises Are they just pretty words? I know what I deserve and you Have been too kind [Bridge] I hear you playing your scales Soon to be lost in another tall tale [Chorus] You don't have to lie, but you do it anyway As if it's what you meant to say If I'm not a fool for you I'm just a fool I'm just a fool [Verse 2] I can't help it If I'm dragging you down Don't seem to be a thing That's not unraveling But you don't seem to mind [Verse 3] Been so wasted Most of the time But when they ask, you tell em She does fine, yeah She's alright [Chorus] You don't have to lie, but you do it anyway As if it's what you meant to say If I'm not a fool for you I'm just a fool I'm just a fool You don't have to lie, but you do it anyway As if it's what you meant to say If I'm not a fool for you I'm just a fool I'm just a fool
