INDIGO GIRLS - Left Me A Fool lyrics
rate meEverybody loves you<br>And they want to know your story<br>You go riding out a mystery<br>Concealed in all your glory<br>But when it comes to flesh and bones<br>You remind me of shallot<br>Only made of shadows<br>Even though you're not<br><br>I remember how I spent<br>All my energy and time<br>With affected conversation<br>Trying to pry inside your mind<br>You are as beautiful as truth<br>And as empty as a shell<br>And I came to you one night<br>And it made me feel like hell<br><br>Oh to reach through all your surface<br>Just to find an empty pool<br>And to suffer all your pride<br>As I lay down by your side<br>And you swallowed up my heart<br>And left me a fool<br>Left me a fool<br><br>Everybody loves a hero<br>An image to create<br>The antithesis of everything<br>Inside ourselves we hate<br>But you'd better close your eyes<br>When it's time for them to die<br>Because you'd hate to think the life<br>You'd built upon them was a lie<br><br>Oh to reach through all your surface<br>Just to find an empty pool<br>And to suffer all your pride<br>As I lay down by your side<br>And you swallowed up my heart<br>And left me a fool<br>Left me a fool<br><br>I resign myself to silence<br>I will never blow your cover<br>No one ever has to know<br>Who the hero took for lover<br>But it has come to mind as you blaze on<br>As brilliant as a star<br>How many you've left behind<br>How many casualties there are<br><br>Oh to reach through all your surface<br>Just to find an empty pool<br>And to suffer all your pride<br>As I lay down by your side<br>And you swallowed up my heart<br>And left me a fool<br>Left me a fool
