Lyrics
Don't you know you're such a fool
Recognizing someone as foolish
To keep on acting like you do
Criticizing continued unwise behavior
Don't you know you're such a fool
Reiteration of the person's foolishness
To keep on acting like you do
Repetition emphasizing the need for change
You're a fool to play things cool
Advising against playing it cool when much is at stake
When you've got everything to lose
Highlighting the risk of losing everything
You hurt the ones you love the most
Noting the tendency to harm close relationships
Every time you lose your head
Linking emotional outbursts to hurting loved ones
Hurt the ones you love the most
Reiteration of the negative impact on close relationships
Every time you lose your head
Emphasizing the pattern of harming loved ones
Well you shoot them down when they're too close
Acting impulsively and causing the loss of friendships
And you've lost another friend
Expressing the consequences of pushing people away
Told the girl you love the best
Communicating a barrier to emotional intimacy
She could never get inside of you
Reiterating emotional unavailability
Told the girl you love the best
Emphasizing the difficulty of connecting emotionally
She could never get inside of you
Stating the challenge of breaking emotional barriers
And you started to regret
Expressing regret for past actions
And you began to think things through
Reflecting on actions and reconsidering choices
Lord what a stupid thing to do
Expressing regret for a foolish decision
What a stupid thing to do
Reiterating the foolishness of a particular action
Lord what a stupid thing to do
Expressing remorse for a specific mistake
What a thing for me to do
Acknowledging personal responsibility for actions
What a thing for me to do
Repeating self-awareness of a regrettable choice
Lord what a stupid thing to do
Expressing regret for a foolish decision
What a thing for me to do
Acknowledging the personal responsibility of a regrettable action
