I try hard to be a good man
Maybe I try too hard
I know sometimes I make you feel so low
It seems to happen all the time
When I see you cry, it breaks my heart in two
Can't you see, it's just the fool in me
Some nights, I lay awake and try to work it out
I can't leave well enough alone
Make the same mistakes so many times
And I never seem to learn
When you turn away, it breaks my heart in two
Wish you could see, it's just the fool in me
I tried hard to be a good man
Least that's what I told myself
I learned how to make you feel real bad
When there was nothing else
When you turned to leave, it broke my heart in two
Why can't you see, it's just the fool in me
