I'm not the best that I know
You plow the sidewalk while I get buried in snow
I'm not the one to take you home tonight
I'll read you wrong, write you a song that you don't like
Cos I'm a fool, who missed all his cues
I kept my distance and with resistance
Sang that song into existence
I dream too much but then don't pursue
You paint me a picture that I break my neck to view
I've watched ships said and engines fail and held the line
I'll slip someday and fade away, hoping you'd be mine
Cos I'm your fool, who's gone see-through
I'm black and blue, back to you
Even though nothing said came true
I've seen it all
Never had anyone to call my own
An honest fool whose dreams have grown
A man possessed by life alone
