Poor Fool

Try not to think about it
Get dressed and come out tonight
You've been through this before and you know it's gonna' be alright
But you can't go out like that
Tuck in your shirt and comb your hair back
If you feel like crying just turn away until the feelings pass

Oh, poor fool (poor fool)
Oh, poor fool (poor fool)
No will to live, no will to choose, poor fool

Now the heart is a tricky thing
Yours, more than most
You spend your whole life wandering with a look on your face like you've seen a ghost

This ain't no haunting
And though it's no ordinary hurt
After all these years, you should know better, but you never learn

Oh, poor fool (poor fool)
Oh, poor fool (poor fool)
No will to live, no will to choose, poor fool
Now I think you like it
Better yet, I know you do
You fuss and you fight it, but your just an ordinary fool
So tuck your head back, close your eyes and take a long, deep breath
You're gonna' be alright, you just gotta' learn to try to forget

Oh, poor fool (poor fool)
Oh, poor fool (poor fool)
No will to live, no will to choose, poor fool
