Fool

Why do I always go erasing Every time I grow close to facing What I know in my heart to be true? Who am I to go pretending When in my mind I'm only ever spending Every second of every minute with you? Like a purple bruise that won't seem to heal Like a rock lodged in the spoke of a wheel I go 'round in circles losing fuel Like a speck of dust caught in your eye Like a brand new kite that refuses to fly I may seem as stubborn as a mule But I'm really just a hopeless fool When did I get used to hiding? My left and right brain are always fighting Over what to do or say How can I keep on blaming circumstance? I'm so tired of claiming that tomorrow Will be different than today Like a purple bruise that won't seem to heal Like a rock lodged in the spoke of a wheel I go 'round in circles losing fuel Like a speck of dust caught in your eye Like a brand new kite that refuses to fly I may seem as stubborn as a mule But I'm really just a hopeless fool Oh, tell me what to do Looking for something new, something more Oh, baby, I'm moving on Can't be a puppet or a pawn, won't be ignored Like a purple bruise that won't seem to heal Like a rock lodged in the spoke of a wheel I go 'round in circles losing fuel Like a speck of dust caught in your eye Like a brand new kite that refuses to fly I may seem as stubborn as a mule But I'm really just a hopeless fool
