Lyrics
Heart Of A Fool
I won?t get my hopes up for your love
But I?ll never forget what it?s done to me
I won?t hang my heart on a shooting star
I might always be lonesome but at least I?ll be free
I won?t take the chance of losing again
I won?t hang my head and I won?t ask you please
I won?t play the martyr not even for you
No one?s got that kind of a spell over me
(chorus)
I?ll take all these wasted years / And trade them for a moment of truth
I?ll take all these needless tears / And make them a fountain of truth
I?ll take all these heartaches / And leave a note sayin? what you can do
But I won?t stand here wondering this way /Nothin? hurts like the heart of a fool
Don?t stand in the doorway ?til you?re ready to leave
Don?t try to feel sorry and don?t act surprised
Don?t keep changing your story in the middle of the night
Don?t question the things you can?t recognize
(repeat chorus)
