The Fool
Love's Folly: Navigating Heartbreak in Gus Dapperton's Melody
Lyrics
You saw me when I walked in your world
You noticed me when I entered your world
Swift moves
Quick movements
Miss you
Expressing a feeling of missing someone
You saw me when I walked with your girl
You observed me when I walked with your girlfriend
This dude
Referring to another person
Has driven me far away from love
Someone has caused the singer to distance themselves from love
And I can't deal with the pain of trust
Unable to cope with the pain associated with trust
No, I can't deal with the pain of love
Expressing inability to handle the pain of love
See your face, my tears they run
Seeing the person's face brings tears
In your place, my dear, you're done
In your absence, the relationship is over
Stay, my love
Request to stay, expressing love
You always take your reigns and run from us
The person tends to run away from commitment
Leave me here to lay outside
Left alone to suffer
You're suddenly less radiant
The person appears less impressive or shining
I'm dumb, I'm dumb, I'm dumb
Self-critical repetition of being dumb
You shook me when I stepped on your shoes
You disturbed me when I unintentionally offended you
Excuse
Asking for forgiveness or understanding
How rude
Commenting on someone's rudeness
You watch me as I waltz with your woozler
Being watched while dancing with someone
This fool
Referring to another person as a fool
Has driven me far away from love
Similar to lines 7-9, expressing distance from love
And I can't deal with the pain of trust
Struggling with the pain associated with trust
No, I can't deal with the pain of love
Reiterating the difficulty in dealing with the pain of love
See your face, my tears they run
Seeing the person's face brings tears
In your place, my dear, you're done
In your absence, the relationship is over
Stay, my love
Request to stay, expressing love
You always take your reigns and run from us
The person tends to run away from commitment
Leave me here to lay outside
Left alone to suffer
You're suddenly less radiant
The person appears less impressive or shining
I'm dumb, I'm dumb, I'm dumb (you're so dumb)
Repetition of self-criticism, emphasizing foolishness
You're so dumb
Directly calling someone dumb
You're so dumb
Repetition, emphasizing the perceived foolishness
You're so dumb, dumb, dumb
Continuation of calling someone dumb
