Well a love won't last the night if it's built on sand
If it's built on rock there ain't nothing that it can't withstand
I guess you know by now how this story goes
A very true story, take it from a fool who knows

I was high as a bird in the sky in the month of may
With a true fine love all mine forever and one day
Now my eyes overflowing with the memories such as those
They're tear-stained memories, take it from a fool who knows

Now my tears are falling and I feel the pain
Here comes all that hurt again
But while my heart keeps beating I'll go on repeating
The same mistakes that I did before
The ones that made me walk the floor
I've got a sack full of those, take it from a fool who knows

But well my tongue gets tired I 'll be getting wired
While my heart keeps beating I 'll go on repeating
The same mistakes that I did before
The ones that made love walk out the door
I got a sack full of those that I'll keep digging into
A lonesome road with a cold wind blowing
The path I chose, take it from a fool who knows
