Behind The Fool
Unveiling the Mask of Love: Decoding 'Behind The Fool'
Lyrics
Don't tell her that you want her
Advises against expressing the desire for a romantic relationship with her.
Don't ask her to be yours
Advises against asking her to commit to a relationship.
Don't tell her she is everything
Warns against declaring that she is the most important thing in life.
Or she might see the fool behind the frown
Implication that revealing deep feelings might expose vulnerability and foolishness.
And then the heart behind the fool
Suggests that if she sees the vulnerability ("fool") behind the facade, she might understand the sincerity ("heart") behind it.
Don't tell her that you need her
Advises against expressing dependence on her.
Don't tell her that you care
Advises against expressing emotional attachment.
Don't ask her to hold you
Advises against seeking comfort or emotional support from her.
Or she might see the fool behind the frown
Repeats the caution about revealing vulnerability leading to potential understanding of sincerity.
And then the heart behind the fool
Reiterates that if she sees vulnerability, she might comprehend the genuineness behind it.
Behind the cool, there's a dreading that

Someday she'll betray you

Someday she will dispose of
Implies that she might discard memories or any emotional attachment to the speaker.
All her photographs of you

So don't tell her when you're lonely

Don't tell her when you're blue
Advises against revealing feelings of sadness or depression to her.
Don't tell her she means everything to you
