“Fools” is the 9th song on Vera’s sophomore album Perennial. In this song she is talking about how she likes her life now that she is single. She says her boyfriend treated her like a fool
[Verse 1]
I forget about my friends
But they come 'round and ask me where the fuck I've been
And all I say is, "Desperate times come with special treasures"
Now it's hard to not think about it
To not think about it
To not think about it, about it
[Chorus]
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel
Do you take it seriously?
Tell me how to feel
Tell me how to feel
Should I take it seriously?
I found myself dropping everything for you
Nobody else matters as much as you do
[Post-Chorus]
So don't make me a fool
So don't make me a fool
So don't make me a fool
So don't make me a fool
[Verse 2]
Why do we confuse ourselves
I'm so done with always feeling like this, like this, like this
But special ones call for desperate measures
Now it's hard to not live without it
To not live without it
To not live without it, without it
Without it
[Chorus]
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel
Do you take it seriously?
Tell me how to feel
Tell me how to feel
Should I take it seriously?
I found myself dropping everything for you
Nobody else matters as much as you do
[Post-Chorus]
So don't make me a fool
So don't make me a fool
So don't make me a fool
So don't make me a fool
[Bridge]
String me along, tie me down
Shame on you
But if I come back around, shame on me
[Chorus]
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel
Do you take it seriously?
Tell me how to feel
Tell me how to feel
Should I take it seriously?
I found myself dropping everything for you
Nobody else matters as much as you do
[Post-Chorus]
So don't make me a fool
So don't make me a fool
So don't make me a fool
So don't make me a fool
