[Verse 1]
I'll burn through love so true
Like a cigarette
Tragedy plays with me
Like a marionette
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Useless heart, fragile thing
That can't bear the weight
Too much love, too much pain
I'm a dam that breaks

A silly, old thing you can't trust in
But, oh, how I long to no longer be strong
To crumble to pieces, find sweet relief
From this foolish heart
[Post-Chorus]
Foolish heart
They break apart
These foolish hearts
[Bridge]
They follow me, they let love lead
But I'll only lead them astray
And when they lose and come back bruised
There's only one fool I can blame
[Outro]
Foolish heart
Foolish heart
They break apart
These foolish hearts
