Foolproof

Show your feelings as you always have
Shrug 'em off with a joke and a laugh
Flippantly playing me on behalf
Of the heart that you lost when first it was broken

And it's not fair because that wasn't me
The one so cold who broke you down utterly
I try to show you but you refuse to see
That I'm genuine, true, and my heart's wide open

Oh…
Falling in love was the worst
Mistake I ever made
No…
Falling for you signed me up
To fall into an early grave

You can't let go and I can't hold on
Just when I thought this love was strong
You bring him up again
As if he were a friend
Remember when you told me he ruined you?

You won't let go and I won't hold on
You keep this up, and I swear I'm gone
You bring me down again
I thought I was your friend
I guess that nothing ever turns out foolproof

What you doing calling him on his cell
Thought you just said that he could go burn in hell
Come to think of it, it's just as well
Because birds of a feather always flock together

So what's the deal? You wanna make this work
Or are you ready to bounce back to that jerk
Honestly, baby, I am going berserk
That's fine, write me off like your last love letter

Oh…
Falling in love was the worst
Mistake I ever made
No…
Falling for you sentenced me
To fall into an early grave

You can't let go and I can't hold on
Just when I thought this love was strong
You bring him up again
As if he were a friend
Remember when you told me he ruined you?

You won't let go and I won't hold on
You keep this up, and I swear I'm gone
You bring me down again
I thought I was your friend
I guess that nothing ever turns out foolproof

I hope you're happy with your decision
Because here's the situation I envision
He'll do something to raise your suspicion
And he'll let you down again. I promise, you'll frown again…

You'll look for me and I won't be there
You'll call to me and I won't care
You'll be missing me one day, I swear
But I won't make you smile again. Today you have lost a friend…

Oh…
Falling in love was the worst
Mistake I ever made
No…
Falling for you signed me up
To fall into an early grave

You can't let go and I can't hold on
Just when I thought this love was strong
You bring him up again
As if he were a friend
Remember when you told me he ruined you?

You won't let go and I won't hold on
You keep this up, and I swear I'm gone
You bring me down again
I thought I was your friend
I guess that nothing ever turns out foolproof

Oh…
Falling in love with a fool
(With a fool)
Was a useless thing for me to do

No…
Falling in love, what's the use?
(What's the use)
When nothing ever turns out foolproof?

Oh…
Falling in love with a fool
(With a fool)
Was a useless thing for me to do

No…
Falling in love, what's the use?
(What's the use)
When nothing ever turns out foolproof?

'Cuz nothin' ever turns out foolproof
Nothin' ever turns out foolproof, no...
