Lyrics

Foolish

I never thought she'd remember
The way that I left her heart
Didn't know I had it all
Till the moment I lost it all
People make mistakes and fall
And she won't ever recover
I couldn't get over
And I could never move home
And I'm trying to recall
From the day I made the fall
She was broken on the floor
I made her shattered

Foolish for me to think she wouldn't leave by December
Foolish to let misery, let fall apart in autumn
Driving on a one way street
Now U-turn to get back to me
Running close to empty, but I'll
I'll never say goodbye
I'll never say
I'll never say
I'll never say
I'll never say

And now I'm running in circles
Feels like I'm losing my mind
And I'm trying to get off
Anywhere before she's gone
Going down this lonely road
Hoping to see her again
'Cause I keep seeing reflections
Flashes in every mirror
Kissing her then I'm alone
Making love until the dawn
Now that every night I know
Can't live without her

Foolish for me to think she wouldn't leave by December
Foolish to let misery, let fall apart in autumn
Driving on a one way street
Now U-turn to get back to me
Running close to empty, but I'll
I'll never say goodbye

Foolish for me to think she wouldn't leave by December
Foolish to let misery, let fall apart in autumn
Driving on a one way street
Now U-turn to get back to me
Running close to empty, but I'll
I'll never say goodbye

Never say, never say
Never say, never say goodbye
Never say, never say
Never say, never say goodbye
Driving on a one way street
Now U-turn to get back to me
Running close to empty, but I'll
I'll never say goodbye

Foolish for me to think she wouldn't leave by December
Foolish to let misery, let fall apart in autumn
Driving on a one way street
Now U-turn to get back to me
Running close to empty, but I'll
I'll never say goodbye

Foolish for me to think she wouldn't leave by December
Foolish to let misery, let fall apart in autumn
Driving on a one way street
Now U-turn to get back to me
Running close to empty, but I'll
I'll never say goodbye

Foolish for me to think...
(Never say, never say goodbye)
Foolish to let misery...
(Never say, never say goodbye)
