Written by Algis Kizys, Harry Crosby, Jarboe

Lyrics

Fool

[Refrain]

I'll lie to myself

I'll lie to myself

[Verse 1]

I'll lie down here

I'll lie down here

I'll lie down beside you

I'll lie down beside you

[Refrain]

I'll lie to myself

I'll lie to myself

[Verse 2]

I'll believe in myself

I'll believe in myself

I'll believe in a lie

I'll believe in a lie

I'll believe in a lie

I'll believe in myself

[Verse 3]

I'll cut off my right hand and stand in your shadow

I'll cut off my right hand and stand in your shadow

[Refrain]

I'll lie to myself

I'll lie to myself

[Bridge]

Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
