Lyrics

Well you made a big fool of me,
Didn't you so.
With your sweet talk and your energy,
You quickly took hold.
Of my heart and my empathy,
I surrendered control,
And I remember you telling me,
Let's please take it slow.

And although I'm excitable,
I ain't easily amused.
While I find you irresistible,
I tried to keep it cool.
But then you'd shine that great big smile on me,
With the mischief in your eyes,
And the dimples and the crazy hair,
It could be no surprise.

And the story unfolds this way,
The emotions would elevate.
Now tell me, Who's the Manic,
And Who's the Fool?

Maybe we're just the same.

And as the Mania accelerates,
With every drink that we consume,
Your mind tells you to hesitate,
But crazy hearts are in the mood.
The sex love so powerful,
It takes us by surprise.
And as we fly high into the night sky,
It would lead to our demise.

Feel the love flowing free,
As I gaze into those hazel eyes.
But I feel you hurting deep inside
This can't be very wise.
Caught up in the magic and the mystery,
I lose all self control
Untethered to reality,
I wasn't bracing for the fall.

When you said that you love me so,
Tell me was it all just for show?
Now you turn away and let me go,
So I'm a Fool,
'Cause I fell for you.
Now i feel the pain.

Chasing that fleeting feeling,
Is this real or am I dreamin'
If you're this level of crazy,
Then I'm a Tool.
What a shame.

You say you're ending things,
I fell apart.
Came crashing through the floor
You hurt me bad,
You broke my heart,
But you wouldn't know.
Seems I served a real purpose here,
As your rebound and your vengeance Tool.
And as quickly as you reeled me in,
You dispose of this Fool.

When you said that you miss my touch,
Now I know it wouldn't mean very much
You're unstable and cruel,
But I'm a Fool,
'Cause I believed you.
But who's to blame?

Chasing that fleeting feeling,
Is this real or am i trippin',
You're fickle and blue, but I'm true,
Yes I'm true.
It's a fool's game.
