I Was a Fool for You

Oh how I loved you

I wanted nothing more than to be your one

I want to be the moon to your sun

The rain to wash away your pain

The one you'd always call home

 

As time ticked by I thought I could see clearer

The future, the destiny I thought could be

But I was only becoming more blind

Denying what I saw with my very own eyes

Burying the signs pointing to what I knew was true

I'd already lost you before you let me go

 

Some will say I played the fool

That all I was is just another fling for you

A kindling in your ego's fire

A way to get what you wanted before you were through

And back in the arms of another

Sometimes I tell myself it could never be true

Whatever I believe, I'm probably still a fool

 

Things seem to die off in the cold of the winter

I try to drown out the times we were together

So I can't look at myself and say

This was the moment I should have walked away

But I was in love, I was holding on to broken strands of hope

That this was real, that this could be true

But when reality hit my heart was torn and scarred

As the present yields to become the past

I try to avoid looking back in hurt confusion or regret

But taking as a lesson learned and knowledge gained

The questions quiet as I've learned to bury the need for "why"

And accept that once, I was a fool for you

I like the conclusion. Sometimes that is what love is all about "being a fool for you". Nicely written!
