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
