"Fool," written January 16, 2001

I'm such a fool
Thinking you cared
Thinking you were in love
I must've been crazy
What kind of idiot am I?
Believing I was in control
I wasn't
You let me believe that
When you know all you had to do
Was buy a few presents
Keep acting sweet
Pretending to get to know me
And eventually
If you waited long enough
I'd give you what you want
Normally here's where I'd say
Uhh? no - Ain't happenin'
But it did - didn't it?
I can't believe I fell
For all those lies
For all that wasted time
I actually liked you
I knew I shouldn't have
But I did
Call me a fool
Call me an idiot
Because I am
Why can't I be the Tin Man
Instead of the Scarecrow?
Why do I bother caring?
