BbI was a fool to Fsay it was over
G#I was concerned with my D#pride
BbThe words are crazy and Ffall out of place
From this D#heartache I can't hFide
BbI hear your name in Fslow conversation
G#I see your face in the D#crowd
BbMy heart desires Fso many things
That my D#pride just can't allFow
Chorus:
I'd close down this D#heart tomorrow, Fleave without a D#fight
FSay goodbye to G#your sweet memory
If I can D#lie in your arms toCmnight
If I can D#lie in your Farms toBbnight
Was I the fool to think you would see me
When all I wanted was you
Then I saw your eyes go through those changes
And wondered how you knew
I hear your name in slow conversation
I close my eyes and knew
I'd never find a way to deceive you
I just can't let you go
Chorus
I was a fool to say it was over
