No More The Fool

Elkie Brooks · Don't Cry Out Loud [2005]

Just why I stayed around

When all I found was a heartache

I believed your every word

Didn't know the hurt and pain that you'd make



But why did it take so long

At last, now I've seen the light

I found the heart to say



No more the fool

Who waits around

Waitin' for you to bring me down

Those days are gone now



No more the nights

Layin' awake

Cryin' and waitin' for the day to break



No more the sound as my dreams fall and hit the ground

While I'm waitin' around

No more the fool



You thought I'd break

Then you were wrong

That I wouldn't see what's goin' on

But I knew



Here I am

I'm alive

And you'll see I'll survive

Without you



And I won't be the one who comes runnin'

It ain't like it used to be

It's your turn to run to me



No more the fool ...

All the nights I waited for you to call

I waited for a sign that you would stay

But it's so clear

You didn't care at all



No more the fool



No more the fool

Who waits around

No more the fool

No more the clown

No more the fool



No more the sight

No more the sound

And hit the ground

No more the fool



No more the fool ...

No more the fool

No more the sight

No more the sound

No more the fool
