[Verse 1] I always knew how this would end Before it even began I felt the spark inside my chest And mistook it for a plan I fall for how it feels at first The rush, the sudden spark I’ve always loved the way it lights The quiet in the dark ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] It’s not that I don’t see the signs I just don’t always walk away I’ve learned that love can burn you down But still I choose the flame ⸻ [Chorus] Fool me once, shame on me Fool me twice, c’est la vie But the third, that’s on me And for once, the fool is me ’Cause I knew the storm was forming Still I let it rain I mistook intensity For something sane I don’t chase the chaos But I don’t run away If loving you was fire I chose to stay Maybe I’m not broken Maybe I just crave The lightning in the darkness More than being safe Maybe I don’t want comfort Maybe I want alive Maybe I’d rather burn for real Than slowly just survive ⸻ [Final Chorus (Stripped) Fool me once, shame on me Fool me twice, c’est la vie But the third, that’s on me And for once… (half breath) The fool is me.
