Lyrics

Fools

[Verse 1]

I try to hold my tongue but I can't

Taming a fire don't make me a better man

I try but I'm fooling myself

Making love don't make love work

Hearts cease fire until we find a new hurt

[Pre-Chorus]

It feels like you wanna shoot first

I keep fighting 'cause I never learn

You cry in defense 'cause it burns

I keep fighting 'cause I never learn

I try but I'm fooling myself

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

So broken can't find the right peace

Down so long damn near forgot how to breathe

I'd try but I'm fooling myself

Hard to find your hand in the dark

Say you wanna touch

But your hand don't reach that far

[Chorus]

Why try when you wanna shoot first?

Stop fighting 'cause you never learn

I cry in defense 'cause it burns

You try but you're fooling yourself

Why try when you wanna shoot first?

Stop fighting 'cause you never learn

I cry in defense 'cause it burns

You try but you're fooling yourself

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Why try when you wanna shoot first?

Stop fighting 'cause you never learn

I cry in defense 'cause it burns

You try but you're fooling yourself

[Outro]

Why try when you wanna shoot first?

Stop fighting 'cause you never learn
