"Fools Game" lyrics

"Fools Game"

I guess I knew that day
I don't know why I tried
Knew you weren't the one
I guess I was too afraid
I was too shy to turn away a woman on the run to the hotel room beside the bed

You held your telephone
Your hair was perfect
And the curtains were drawn
Our faces they burned in the sun
Worse than any fantasy
Neither of us were ever in love
But it's a fools game
And I'm a fool for love
It's a fool's game but I was born to lose anyway
So what the fuck

I guess I like all that pain
Maybe I just wanted you to lose myself some more
Loving you to lose
So somebody else can use you a little more
In a hotel room beside the bed

You held your phone and your hair was perfect
The curtains were drawn and our faces they burned in the sun
Worse than a fantasy
Were either of us ever in love
But its a fools game and im a fool for love
Its a fool's game and I was born to lose anyway
Its a fool's game and I am a fool for love
Its a fool's game and I was born to lose anyway
So what the fuck
Elbow up
