Fool

If you leave me now

It's not that I can't take it

It's just that somehow

I think you'd break it

So much beyond repair

Like pulling out my hair

And poisoning the roots

A gun that never shoots again

And if you leave me now

And take him deep within your throne

Like you did when you were coming home

Yes and you did again in Mexico

And again before you go

And I believed your lies

So turn and walk away

I've overspoken

Said all that I can say

I know that I can kneel

And I could cry

Hell I know that I could show you how I died

But what good would it do?

Give the world another fool

So if you're gonna stay

Don't just say it

Stay, and really stay

I don't want any more goodbyes

Any more disguise

No more tossing coins

Or him between your loins

And if you're gonna stay

I'll place you high upon a hill

Yes and with my hands

I'll build a tower in your name

And you will do the same

Won't you my love?

Won't you my love?

Won't you my love?

Or turn and walk away

I've overspoken

Said all that I can say

I know I could kneel

And kiss your feet

Walk ahead and clear the street

So you don't have to meet

Him, but what good would it do?

Give the world another fool

So turn and walk away

I've overspoken

Now what more can I say?

Hell I know that I could kneel

And I could cry

Man, I know

That I can show you just how I died

What good would it do

Give the world another fool

Sitting on this stool

I'm close to giving up on you
