The Only Fool (August Artist Remix Challenge #2)

[Verse 1] If I’d known You’d be so cruel If I’d paid attention To every red flag I was stepping through I was blind, no I was choosing To look the other way, keep losing Myself in somebody who was using Every piece of me like it was nothing [Pre-Chorus] Should’ve seen the signs written on the wall Should’ve heard the silence louder than it all [Chorus] One, two, three dozens Of beers a day is not a habit It’s a fucking disease And I watched you drown in it While you told me I was crazy For believing what I see If I’d known you’d be so cruel I’d have saved the only fool That was me [Verse 2] On a deep sea fishing Mood romantic Seeing you dazed away Should’ve been a fucking warning Sun was golden but your eyes were empty Holding my hand but you were somewhere distant Every bottle on that boat was evidence I just didn’t want to read the sentence Playing house with someone haunted Thought my love could fix what’s broken Every promise you left unspoken Was another piece of me stolen [Pre-Chorus] Should’ve felt the cracks beneath the floor Should’ve known that love can’t win a war [Chorus] One, two, three dozens Of beers a day is not a habit It’s a fucking disease And I watched you drown in it While you told me I was crazy For believing what I see If I’d known you’d be so cruel I’d have saved the only fool That was me [Bridge] Now I’m standing on the shore alone Salt water on my face but it’s my own Every wave that crashes sounds like your voice Telling me I never had a choice But I did — I just chose you Over everything I knew was true [Final Chorus] One, two, three dozens Won’t numb the pain I’m carrying It’s a fucking disease But the sickest part of it Was believing I could heal Something you refused to feel Now I know you were so cruel And I’m saving the only fool That’s me [Outro] That’s me… Should’ve been a warning… That’s me… [Fade out]
