only a fool breaks his own heart

why do i go on fooling myself

when i know you love somebody else

only a fool

breaks his own heart

i pretend i don't see

you walking with him on the street

only a fool

breaks his own heart

i have to admit

even though it hurt me so

i can't forget. if i'm a man

i'll let you go

there's no sense in holding on

to an old love that's gone

only a fool

breaks his own heart

i have to accept

even though it hurt me so

i can't forget. if i'm a man

i'll let you go

there's no sense in holding on

to an old love that's gone

only a fool

breaks his own heart

only a fool

breaks his own heart
