Lyrics

**Verse 1**
I should've known from the beginning
The way you smiled and looked away
You had me building castles, baby
While you were planning your escape

Every promise sounded honest
Every word felt so sincere
I gave you all my trust so freely
Never thinking danger was near

My friends kept trying to warn me
Said I was wearing love too blind
But I kept making excuses
For every little warning sign

I saw what I wanted to see
And ignored what was true
Now I'm sitting here wondering
How I got so lost in you

**Chorus**
I've been foolish over you
Giving more than I should give
Holding on to empty dreams
And forgetting how to live

I've been foolish over you
Believing every word you said
Building a future in my heart
While you were already gone instead

Still somehow through all the pain
My heart keeps calling out your name
I've been foolish over you
And I don't know who's to blame

**Verse 2**
I remember all those evenings
Talking till the break of dawn
You made forever sound so easy
Now forever's come and gone

Every photograph reminds me
Of a love I thought was real
Now I'm left with unanswered questions
And wounds that time can't heal

Was I loving you too deeply?
Did I overlook the truth?
Did I mistake your sweet affection
For the kind of love that lasts?

I gave my soul without conditions
Laid my pride down at your feet
Never knowing I was standing
On a road to my defeat

**Chorus**
I've been foolish over you
Giving chances one by one
Holding onto what we had
Long after it was done

I've been foolish over you
Trying to save what couldn't stay
Holding broken pieces together
While you drifted away

Still somehow through all the hurt
A part of me remains the same
I've been foolish over you
And my heart still takes the blame

**Bridge**
Maybe love can make you reckless
Maybe hope can make you blind
Maybe when your heart is hungry
It believes what it can find

But I'm learning every lesson
Hidden underneath the scars
Learning that real love shouldn't leave you
Questioning who you are

I'm picking up the pieces slowly
Finding strength I never knew
And though the healing isn't easy
I'm finally seeing through

**Final Chorus**
I've been foolish over you
But I won't stay there anymore
I'm reclaiming all the pieces
Of myself I gave before

I've been foolish over you
But the story doesn't end
Because every broken heart can heal
And learn to love again

One day I'll look back at this chapter
Without anger, without shame
Just a man who loved too deeply
And survived the pain

**Outro**
Yes, I've been foolish over you...
But I'm wiser than before
And while a part of me remembers
I won't be that fool anymore...
No, not anymore.
