Foolish

[Intro - Verse 1] I saw you from across the room and something in me shifted The kind of shift you feel before you know what it means You had this easy way about you — effortless and gifted At making ordinary moments look like bigger things You spoke to me like you'd been waiting — warm and close Said all the things a girl could need to hear that night And I'm not naive — I've heard the talk before from most But something in your delivery just felt like it was right So I let my guard down slowly — brick by patient brick Told you things I don't tell people — took my time You held it like it mattered — and that did the trick Funny how the careful ones still fall for a sign We talked till all the music stopped and lights came on You walked me out like you were someone I could keep And I drove home replaying every word you'd gone And built a whole future on a night I couldn't sleep [Pre Chorus] But you were never in it like I was — were you Just passing through and I was somewhere warm to land And the worst part isn't you — the worst part is I knew I just chose to call it love instead of understand [Chorus] Foolish — I was so foolish Gave you all of me for something that was newish Dressed it up in feelings, made it look like truth And I believed it 'cause I wanted to — so foolish Yeah I was foolish Fell for every word like I was seventeen and clueless You were never mine and I was never yours to lose I just couldn't tell the difference — I was foolish [Verse 2] You never lied exactly — that's the clever part Just left enough space for me to fill it in myself I did the heavy lifting with my own heart Built the whole thing up and put it on a shelf Saw you out last week — you seemed fine, light, unbothered Laughing with your people like it never even was And I stood there realising I had only ever mattered The amount that suited you — and only just because [Pre Chorus] But you were never in it like I was — were you Just passing through and I was somewhere warm to land And the worst part isn't you — the worst part is I knew I just chose to call it love instead of understand [Outro] Foolish — I was so foolish Gave you all of me for something that was newish Dressed it up in feelings, made it look like truth And I believed it 'cause I wanted to — so foolish Yeah I was foolish Fell for every word like I was seventeen and clueless You were never mine and I was never yours to lose I just couldn't tell the difference — I was foolish
