Damien Rice
Fool
If you leave me now
It's not that I can't take it
It's just that somehow
I think you'd break it
So much beyond repair
Like pulling out my hair
And poisoning the roots
A gun that never shoots again
And if you leave me now
And take him deep within your throne
Like you did when you were coming home
Yes and you did again in Mexico
And again before you go
And I believed your lies

So turn and walk away
I've overspoken
Said all that I can say
I know that I can kneel
And I could cry
Hell I know that I could show you how I died
But what good would it do?
Give the world another fool

So if you're gonna stay
Don't just say it
Stay, and really stay
I don't want any more goodbyes
Any more disguise
No more tossing coins
Or him between your loins
And if you're gonna stay
I'll place you high upon a hill
Yes and with my hands
I'll build a tower in your name
And you will do the same
Won't you my love?
Won't you my love?
Won't you my love?
Or turn and walk away
I've overspoken
Said all that I can say
I know I could kneel
And kiss your feet
Walk ahead and clear the street
So you don't have to meet
Him, but what good would it do?
Give the world another fool

So turn and walk away
I've overspoken
Now what more can I say?
Hell I know that I could kneel
And I could cry
Man, I know
That I can show you just how I died
What good would it do
Give the world another fool

Sitting on this stool
I'm close to giving up on you
