Fool

It's actually more of a song, but I want help with it. Think of a kind of folksy feel, like the Avett brothers. It's a sad song, but I want it to seem hopeful as well

I never thought That I would find, a lover who could read my mind

But I found you and everything, turned out to be more than true

There are things that I regret, but let me say, I won't forget

That you found me as I knew you always would

but now it's gone

I don't want to live for nothing, but I felt that we were something

Special that I couldn't find, if I looked for all my life

Now you're gone and I confess, that I can't rip you from my chest

My beating heart tells me, that i can't live without it or you

So remember me and my heart

for loving you is all I got

I want you remember me

and all the things we could have been 

Almost like the setting sun

It seems like our time has come

But if the moon lies low tonight

I'll wish upon it's meager light

that everything will turn out right

These stars seem so uninspired, hanging there, a silent choir

I can not feel the cold, but my fingers fumble with the fold

of the cigarettes to get them lit, wind makes it burn my fingertips

and it's not breathing in the smoke, that makes me start to choke

I find a prayer upon my lips, in between the smokey wisps

I'd lie and say the prayer was not, about you but you know it was

I can't believe what I missed, what slipped between my fingers grip

I should have held you close, and whispered what I want the most

But now what I do seems amiss, A New Year without a goodnight kiss

It's a horrid day to be, alone, and scared

Remember all I told to you

All the things I wanted to

be when I became a man

with you always near at hand

I've never felt afraid before

until you walked straight out that door

into the cold night

walking till you were out of sight

with me blinking tears in the porch lights

I don't know how to hold on, I can't feel like I'm going strong

without you here I'm feeling lost, I feel the waves pulling me off

underneath the current drawing me, into my endless sea

of doubts and all my fears, made up of my unshed tears

Losing hope and fading fast, i am prepared to breathe my last

unless you will save me, but that's not much comfort to me

I can't believe that it will end, and like all things i can't comprehend

I just try to ignore, what hurts me most but its a chore

Everything is going blank, and I can barely see your face

And try as I might, your warmth fails me in the night

all i have left of you, is memories that may not be true

but I hold on for support, cause nothing else seems to work

Maybe we cannot go back

to the way things were in the past

But I'll never give up hope

That we will never work

Maybe I am a fool

But better than a man who

gives up on the love

that made him better than who he was

just because she broke his heart
