Foolish
Holding on to empty hopes,
figuring out ways to cope,
sadness playing on the strings
while the jesters sorrow sings.
Foolish am I for holding on so,
foolish for thoughts of letting go, oh
I lost happy a long time ago,
where am I, I just don't know.
Waiting for midnight to drown me,
gazing at the galaxies that astound me,
I'm just a little bit afraid of the dark
and the sound of my breaking heart.
Foolish am I for holding on so
Foolish for the thoughts of letting go, oh
I lost happy a long time ago
where am I, I just don't know
I'm sorry I am so afraid
dreading mistakes I haven't made,
doubting myself, doubting wisdom
Into the darkness here I come
Foolish steps I keep on taking,
cracks of glass I hear when I'm waking
it's not only my heart I'm breaking
Foolish am I for holding on so
foolish for the letting go, oh
I'm that fool that you know...
just let me go.
