Idiot Lyrics by Coldplay

2001

So I was an idiot
I was a goddamn idiot
Because I came here so violent
Because I came around here so violent
I said yes I was an idiot
I was a goddamn idiot
Because I made you pay for it
Because I came round here to pay for it

And sing it
It's a wonderful life
Never felt so alive
Never felt so alive
It's a wonderful life
Never felt so alive
Never felt so alive

My love, my love, where have you been?
My love, my love, where did you go?
My love, my love, what have you seen?
My love, you're such an idiot
Like an idiot

I ran around like a chicken with its head cut off
Like an idiot
I ran around like a chicken with its head cut off
Like an idiot
I ran around like a chicken with its head cut off
Like an idiot
I run around like a chicken with my head cut off

I was an idiot
I felt my head go cold and my eyes lit up
I skipped like a throwing stone
I never felt like this when I wasn't home
I said I was an idiot
I was a stupid jealous idiot
I was a goddamn idiot

Sing it
It's a wonderful life
Never felt so alive
Never felt so alive
It's a wonderful life
Never felt so alive
Never felt so alive

My love, my love, where have you been?
My love, my love, where did you go?
My love, my love, what have you seen?
My love, you're such an idiot
Like an idiot

I run around like a chicken with its head cut off
Like an idiot
I run around like a chicken with its head cut off
Like an idiot
I run around like a chicken with its head cut off
Like an idiot
Listen now, it's a wonderful life

Never felt so alive
It's a wonderful life
Never felt so alive
It's a wonderful life
Never felt so alive

Never felt so alive
It's a wonderful life
Never felt so alive
Never felt so alive
