Written by John Jackson and Dave Sieracki
I don’t know what it was that made me take a chance on you
Could have been the little things that led me to follow through
So I opened my lonely heart and hoped a simple dream could come true
But fools never see it coming
They’re easy victims of a narrow view
If the shoe fits, wear it
Don’t tell me more lies, don’t fake it
You know the truth hurts, I’m better off alone
Well if the shoe fits, wear it
Don’t think that I will understand it
Just say your goodbyes, I’ll make it on my own
I’m on my own
Oh, if I had only known
When you left in the early dawn, and came back late every night
I was living in darkness, didn’t know if I should reach for the light
You said all the right words, I guess that’s just being polite
But fools have a problem listening
They only hear it if it sounds alright
You know that it’s inevitable
You know you’ll have to pay for the crime
Soon you’re gonna be out of excuses
The end of the line is just a matter of time
I don’t know what it was that made me take a chance on you
I should have noticed the big things, and I never should have followed through
So I’m mending my broken heart and waiting ‘til I’m over you
But fools never learn their lesson
They think it’s different when it’s someone new
