Fools

[Verse 1]
I try to hold my tongue but I can't
Taming a fire don't make me a better man
I try but I'm fooling myself
Making love don't make love work
Hearts cease fire until we find a new hurt

[Pre-Chorus]
It feels like you wanna shoot first
I keep fighting 'cause I never learn
You cry in defense 'cause it burns
I keep fighting 'cause I never learn
I try but I'm fooling myself

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
So broken can't find the right peace
Down so long damn near forgot how to breathe
I'd try but I'm fooling myself
Hard to find your hand in the dark
Say you wanna touch
But your hand don't reach that far

[Chorus]
Why try when you wanna shoot first?
Stop fighting 'cause you never learn
I cry in defense 'cause it burns
You try but you're fooling yourself

Why try when you wanna shoot first?
Stop fighting 'cause you never learn
I cry in defense 'cause it burns
You try but you're fooling yourself

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Why try when you wanna shoot first?
Stop fighting 'cause you never learn
I cry in defense 'cause it burns
You try but you're fooling yourself

[Outro]
Why try when you wanna shoot first?
Stop fighting 'cause you never learn
