Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I remember when you filled my heart with joy
Was I blind to the truth? Just there to fill the space?
'Cause now you have no interest in anything that I have to say
I've allowed you to make me feel, I feel so dumb
What kind of fool am I? You so easily set me aside
[Verse 2]
You made a fool of me, tell me why
You say that you don't care, but we made love
Tell me why
You made a fool of me, you made a fool of me
[Verse 3]
I want to kiss you, does she want you with the pain that I do?
Smell you in my dreams, but now when we're face to face
You won't look me in the eye, no time, no friendship, no love
You say don't touch you, I can't touch you no more
Can't touch you anymore, anymore
[Verse 4]
(You made a fool of me, tell me why)
You made a fool of me, tell me
(Tell me why) Tell me why
(You say that you don't care we made love)
You say you just don't care we made love
(Tell me why) Tell me why
(You made a fool of me, tell me why)
You made, made a fool of me, tell me
(You made a fool of me)
(Tell me why) I feel like such a fool
(You made a fool of me, tell me why)
You made a fool of me
Tell me why
