The Fool Lyrics by Leah Dowdy

2020

[Verse 1]
I’ve been thinking a long, long time
About the promises you made that night
Head over heels into those blue eyes
One week later we’re booking flights
Dive bars and Broadway shows
Late night chats and cracking codes
Swore I’d never let myself get too close
People come and then they go
[Chorus]
And I think I could've loved you
But three hundred miles is a long way to scream through
We were on borrowed time and you checked out at noon
Here’s to falling blind and playing the fool
[Verse 2]
Silent treatment and one missed call
Do your friends ever ask you where I’ve gone?
Was it too soon to call you babe?
Is that why you walked away?
You know I never asked for much
I just thought you were someone I could trust
Then you up and disappeared
At least one thing is clear
[Chorus]
And I think I could've loved you
But three hundred miles is a long way to scream through
We were on borrowed time and you checked out at noon
Here’s to falling blind and playing the fool
[Verse 3]
This time last year winter break
Kissed me outside in the rain
I miss the way you'd say my name
And I wouldn’t change a thing
Yeah, I’d rather play the fool
‘Cause this fool was so in love with
It was small and it was true
And I’d still choose you
[Chorus]
And I think I could've loved you
But three hundred miles is a long way to scream through
We were on borrowed time and you checked out at noon
Here’s to falling blind and playing the fool
