"Time Shows Fools" lyrics

"Time Shows Fools"

Wish I could say that I found some way to sleep at night
Wish I could lie but my weary eyes tell otherwise and
I know when it comes to matters of the heart that
Time shows all fools what they really are

Time shows fools
Time shows fools

Now you got a heart like a stone castle through a coming tide
Never learned to love a man 'cause your momma never did your daddy right and
Now you're grown and can't shake the feeling
You're still trying to outrun this urban upbringing and
You'll find out you'll never get too far 'cause
Time shows all fools, what they really are

Time shows fools
Time shows fools

Wish I could turn around and walk away from this
I've just turned away now I ain't took a step

Still looking for something I should learn to forget
I'm too old now to retreat like this

So gone are the days blessed by the ease of a brand new start
Lost in the wake, drowned in the pain of a broken heart and
It don't matter who you think you are
Time shows all fools, what they really are

Time shows fools
Time shows fools
