the kind of fool love makes

anyone can read the sign

or the writing on the wall

it's all right there to see

except someone like me

who can't see the truth at all

it takes a special kind of fool

to stand out in the rain

somewhere in between

nothing left to lose

nothing to be gained

what kind of fool does it take

to go on loving alone

like there's some answer in the ruins

some silver lining to be found

an even bigger fool might think

that you would care if my heart breaks

before the time that i admit

i'm just the kind of fool love makes

a wiser one would see

nothing's gonna change

there's a time for giving up

a time for letting go

to learn from our mistake

but i keep holding onto hope

in spite of everything i know

what kind of fool does it take

to go on loving alone

like there's some answer in this ruin

some silver lining to be found

it takes a bigger fool to think

that the dawn will never break

on this day that i admit

i'm just the kind of fool love makes

on this day that i admit

i'm just the kind of fool love makes
