(Verse 1)
I know what the whispers say behind my back
They say I gave you everything I had, and there’s no turning back
They call it reckless, they call it blind devotion
But they don't see the fire you lit in this restless ocean
I sold my map, threw out the compass, burned the rules
All just to keep on loving you, like a fool.
(Chorus)
And I'll be the fool, the one who falls the hardest
The one who ignores all the warnings, like an artist
Lost in the masterpiece, painting only you
Yes, I'm loving you like a fool, but oh, darling, it's the smartest thing to do.
I'll let the wise ones talk, let them shake their heads and frown
'Cause I'd rather be a happy fool than a lonely king with a crown.
(Verse 2)
You’re a high-stakes gamble, a beautiful, dangerous risk
I put all my chips on the table, I stamped it with a kiss
I should keep a safe distance, a guarded heart on a shelf
But the thought of you walking away is worse than losing myself
I’ve abandoned logic, I’ve dismissed all the schools
All just to keep on loving you, like a fool.
(Chorus)
And I'll be the fool, the one who falls the hardest
The one who ignores all the warnings, like an artist
Lost in the masterpiece, painting only you
Yes, I'm loving you like a fool, but oh, darling, it's the smartest thing to do.
I'll let the wise ones talk, let them shake their heads and frown
'Cause I'd rather be a happy fool than a lonely king with a crown.
(Bridge)
Maybe logic protects, maybe caution is wise
But it’s never known the brilliance I see in your eyes
If being safe means holding back this feeling, then safety be damned
My heart doesn't ask for guarantees, it just asks to be held in your hand.
(Guitar Solo - Instrumental break, building to a passionate crescendo before softening)
(Chorus)
And I'll be the fool, the one who falls the hardest
The one who ignores all the warnings, like an artist
Lost in the masterpiece, painting only you
Yes, I'm loving you like a fool, but oh, darling, it's the smartest thing to do.
I'll let the wise ones talk, let them shake their heads and frown
'Cause I'd rather be a happy fool than a lonely king with a crown.
(Outro)
Yes, a happy fool, darling, that's what I'll be.
Just a fool...
A fool for you and me.
