Be Your Fool
Love's Deceptive Dance: Embracing Folly in Jake Manzi's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Wouldn't be the first time love made a fool of me
Love has previously made me feel foolish or naive.
I showed you everything you weren't supposed to see
I revealed parts of myself that were meant to be hidden.
Now you saw my dark eyes
You've seen the darker aspects of me.
You know how my heart hides
You understand how I guard my emotions.
Wish that I knew the same about you
I wish I knew the same depth or guarded aspects about you.
I think this time I'll go and get a bit too close
This time, I might become overly involved.
And when I lose you you'll be my favorite ghost
If I lose you, you'll haunt my thoughts even in your absence.
That makes me drive through town
Driving through your vicinity, reminiscing.
Right by your old house
Passing by where you used to live.
Past the shadows on the wrong side of the street
Through the darker or less favorable parts of town.
While I was breaking my own rules
I was disregarding my own boundaries or guidelines.
You were just playing it cool
You were staying composed despite my actions.
I was so ready to be your fool
I was eager or willing to be fooled by you.
I was so ready to be your fool
I was overly ready or open to being misled by you.
Let's go ahead and put some miles in between
Let's create distance between us.
It's a temporary way to sew up every seam
This separation is a temporary fix for our problems.
Now you're done hanging round here
You've decided to leave this place.
You're seeing it so clear
You're understanding things clearly now.
But you never tell me where you'd rather be
You don't disclose where you'd rather be.
Well I've been breaking my own rules
I've been disregarding my own limits or standards.
Letting you treat me so cruel
You've been treating me unkindly or harshly.
While you're playing it so cool
You're maintaining a detached or unaffected demeanor.
I was so ready to be your fool
I was incredibly willing to be deceived by you.
I was so ready to be your fool
I was excessively prepared to be misled by you.
I was so ready to be your fool
I was overly eager to be fooled by you.
I was so ready to be your fool
I was very much ready to be deceived by you.
