Lyrics

Only a Fool

After all
I can't recall
Any time
You felt like mine

Love is pain that only a fool would wanna know
Somebody sent me flowers only hours ago
I don't wanna know

Everyone starts with yes
And winds up saying no
And then they go, and you're alone

You were divine
God's best design
I didn't mind
I was next in line

Love is pain that only a fool would wanna know
Somebody sent me flowers only hours ago
I don't wanna know

Everyone starts with yes
And winds up saying no
And then they go, and you're alone

I'm all by myself
There is no one to see me cry
So away from it all
And I sometimes wonder why
I don't try
I might die from the fall

Love is pain that only a fool would wanna know
Somebody sent me flowers only hours ago
I don't wanna know

Everyone starts with yes
And winds up saying no
And then they go, and you're alone

Oh, I'm all by myself
And there's no one to see me cry
So away from it all
And I sometimes wonder why
I don't try
I might die from the fall
So away from it all

I couldn't fit
Wasn't up for it
You didn't mind (You didn't even mind)
You left (You left) me far behind (You left me behind)

Love is pain that only a fool would wanna know
Somebody sent me flowers only hours ago
I don't wanna know

Everyone starts with yes
And winds up saying no
And then they go, and you're alone
