lyrics

I was once inebriated
And the thought of coming close to you was just complicated
I couldn't find the words to choose I never asked you
And I know that I'm the fool I let myself get in the way.
My pleasures never satiated
There is no rhyme or reason that I would need a friend
Or even one to love me so I played again
I played the part that don't come easily to me.

I'm the fool I'm the chief of idiots
I love myself too much to tell the truth
I'm the fool and if my words come out dumb its alright because
I'll be the fool in love with you

Now I made a choice today
To kill the man I was and come to grips today
I am so needy it's not hard to see that I need someone to need me
So I come broken I guess.

I'm the fool I'm the chief of idiots
I love myself too much to tell the truth
I'm the fool and if my words come out dumb its alright because
I'll be the fool in love with you
