I Played the Fool

Oh, I

Oh, I

I played the fool

[verse]

A good guy, bad guy

Punchline, frown

The joke fell flat

I′ll come around

Look who volunteered to play the fool

[pre-Chorus]

A sea change came

It knocked me down

I'm setting up

The punchline now

Look who tried too hard to play it cool

[Chorus]

Oh, I

Oh, I

Oh, I

Oh, I

Oh, I

Oh, I

I played the fool

[verse]

Laugh at me

I′m trying, trying

Falling sometimes

Sometimes flying

Cry me an ocean

Of one liners

Cruel, cruel, cruel

[pre-Chorus]

Sticks and stones

You know the rhyme

You know it landed

Hard this time

Look who tried too hard to play it cool

[Chorus]

We laugh and move on

With our lives

I'm bootstrap pained

But nеvermind

I'll find a way

To rewrite our bеginnings

Oh, I

Oh, I

Oh, I

Oh, I

Oh, I

Oh, I

I played the fool

[outro]

Laugh at me

I′m trying, trying

Falling sometimes

Sometimes flying

Cry me an ocean

Of one liners

Cry me an ocean

Of one liners

Cry me an ocean

Of one liners

Cruel, cruel, cruel
