Lyrics

I'm a fool to want you

I acknowledge my foolishness in desiring you.

I'm a fool to want you

Reiteration of being foolish for wanting you.

To want a love that can't be true

I desire a love that, unfortunately, cannot be genuine.

A love that's there for others too

A love that is not exclusive, shared with others.


I'm a fool to hold you

Despite knowing it's unwise, I'm foolishly holding onto you.

Such a fool to hold you

Emphasizing the folly of holding onto you.

To seek a kiss not mine alone

Seeking a kiss that isn't exclusively mine.

To share a kiss that devil has known

Sharing a kiss with a history known to be harmful.


Time and time again I said I'd leave you

I've repeatedly promised to leave you.

Time and time again I went away

Despite promises, I've repeatedly distanced myself.

But then would come the time when I would need you

There are times when I find myself needing you again.

And once again these words I´d have to say

Expressing the cyclical nature of returning to you and repeating these words.


I'm a fool to want you

Reaffirming foolishness in wanting you.

Pity me, I need you

Asking for pity, admitting a need for you.

I know it's wrong, it must be wrong

Acknowledging the awareness that desiring you may be wrong.

But right or wrong I can't get along

Recognizing the wrongness, but unable to cope without you.

Without you

Conveying a sense of dependency on you, whether right or wrong.
