Vanessa Carlton Lyrics
"Fools Like Me"

Beware
The danger
It lurks for those who get swept away
The dreamers get punished most by truth
They say it's all in a little ways one reveals their love's gone away
Love's gone away

When my hand was in your hand my heart was pure
Now I see a different man rewriting memories
The dogs run down the beach and all I'm left with is sand in my shoes
Sand in my shoes

Fools like me
We love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me

Now I recall that time at the café
The thunderstorm outside
Words you could never say
They hold the loudest tones
You saw you'll write but it's ink on page
Just ink on page

Fools like me
Oh
We love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me

Tick tock
The time
Distant look grows in your eye
But fools never ask
Afraid of what lurks in your mind

I always knew
Somehow always knew
I always knew the truth

Fools like me
Oh
We never see 'cause the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
And it's breaking
It's breaking
It's breaking
It's gotta break for me to see

At least I can say I was not afraid
I loved you all the way
I'd pick the fool any day
