"The Fool That You Are" lyrics

I've been staring at the phone
Waiting for your call
Are you a million miles away?
Or standing next to me?
God knows that I have tried
Maybe one too many times
I see so much of me in you
It's hard to face the truth

Hey kid
You gotta set things straight
To get on the road to freedom
There is a path you should take
Hey kid
Don't you let the sun go down
When we're not around
Someday you'll see all these scars
The fool that you are

Your head's heavy like a stone
Forgot everything you've learned
Slowly slipping out to sea
Where no anchor could ever reach
Maybe one day we'll look back
At all the times we had
When you're lost and alone
And the streets are your home
I hope you feel the fire
Before you get burned

Hey kid
You gotta set things straight
To get on the road to freedom
There is a path you should take
Hey kid
Don't you let the sun go down
When we're not around
Someday you'll see all these scars
The fool that you are

How many times till you get it right?
Do you want to live?
Or do you want to die?
Now it's all in your hands
And out of mine
It's on you, it's on you

The fool that you are
You are
You are

Hey kid
You gotta set things straight
To get on the road to freedom
There is a path you should take
Hey kid
Don't you let the sun go down
When we're not around
Someday you'll see all these scars
Someday you'll see all these scars
The fool that you are

The fool that you are
