There something about the way we fall apart | |
Like everything that matters, didn’t matter from the start | |
Everyone around us played a part | |
Wrecking ball came crashing through the window | |
Structures that we carry in our heart | |
And all I ever asked of you | |
Is just to be the woman that you wanted to | |
It’s all I ever asked | |
Just outside the city on a Sunday last July | |
The girl’s name was Brandy but we called her Caroline | |
No one even knew her history | |
Said she came from somewhere in the southland | |
Feels like she was coming straight for me | |
I was playing nine ball with two guys I knew from work | |
This junkie local starts acting like a jerk | |
Saw him put his hand up Brandy’s skirt | |
And I don’t know what happened next | |
In retrospect I lost my head and think I went berserk | |
By the time they pulled me off him I was almost coming to | |
Bleeding at the knuckles, she says nice to meet you | |
And the cops will probably be here in a flash | |
We hailed a cab we both got in | |
And watched that taxi driver slam his foot down on the gas | |
Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you | |
Oh oh oh | |
Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you | |
But I ain’t nobody’s fool | |
Next few months we spent a lot of time up in the room | |
Laughed a lot, drank a lot, yeah we tried to shoot the moon | |
And in the morning time she'd always disappear | |
I agreed, I'd never ask her questions | |
With the chance of an answer I don't wanna hear | |
One morning, she crying on the stoop outside my place | |
She tryin’ to hide it, there’s sadness on her face | |
Oh is there anything I can do? | |
She said perhaps if you would drop this package off | |
I would hate to inconvenience you | |
Well they say a suckers born, every sixty seconds time | |
I knew I shouldn't do it, but I put it from my mind | |
And, oh if you knew that gal of mine | |
You’d understand, I got no hand in making that decision | |
Reason got no rhyme | |
Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you | |
Oh oh oh | |
Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you | |
But I ain't nobody's fool | |
Nobody's fool no more | |
I knocked at the address that she gave waited for a few | |
Looked inside the window and I saw a kid or two | |
Next thing I knew a burner in my face | |
There's just some shit you never can erase | |
Both my hands were shaking as the sun began to rise | |
I got back to my house, she was gone I'm not surprised | |
You can never ground a bird that needs to fly | |
Oh I got into that urge to move | |
Thanks to you, my wrecking ball Caroline | |
Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you | |
Oh oh oh | |
Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you | |
Oh oh oh | |
Must be a fool like me to be with you | |
Oh oh oh | |
Must be a fool like me to be with you | |
But I ain't nobody's fool | |
Nobody's fool no more | |
No more |
