[Verse 1]
I could be your artist then
I would trace lines from the sun across the sides
Or be the poet in my tune
And pull my heart out in each verse I give to you

I'll be the stranger in the dark
The one you pray for in the night that holds a spark
Or be the honest love you seek
Casting words out like a stone from cheek to cheek

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it's a lie, what's the world coming to?

[Chorus]
For you know they'll love your name
And every heart you break
There'll be somebody new for you
And every time you die, a million ways inside
I'll always be a fool for you

[Verse 2]
I'll be the farmer in the field
If you should want to plant the seeds and watch 'em yield
Oh, I could be the crook, the thief
The one who'd steal what you desire in your sleep

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it's a lie, what's the world coming to?

[Chorus]
For you know theyll love your name
And every heart you break
There'll be somebody new for you
And every time you die a million ways inside
I'll always be a fool

[Bridge]
The only locks upon the door
Are from the pide so why'd you look there for?
There's nothing there you'll ever need
Just call out for me

[Chorus]
And all the love remains
Every heart I break there'll be somebody new for me
And every time I die
Strung out by the night
I'll always be a fool
