"My Foolish Heart" lyrics

Take me to the edge I know I don't wanna stay
Hold me up into the light or lead me astray
Stare at me like your snakes and buzzards and turn me all to stone

And with my foolish heart I'll ever be alone

Say you don't want my love, you don't need my faith
Say you don't need my words or my songs of praise
There's always trouble in the rubble down here when you're flesh and bone

And with my foolish heart I'll ever be alone
And with my foolish heart I'll ever be alone

If you don't turn your back on me
If you don't turn your back on me
I'll never be alone

You remind of all the lines that I could not save
You remind me of every lost dream I've had along the way
Well, it's a sentiment espoused in rhyme that I just can't condone

With my foolish heart I'll ever be alone
With my foolish heart I'll ever be alone

If you don't turn your back on me
If you don't turn your back on me
If you don't turn your back on me
I'll never be alone

With my foolish heart I'll ever be alone
With my foolish heart I'll ever be alone
With my foolish heart I'll ever be alone
