Someone Else's Fool

Half-awake, it's 3:00am and you're up again

Dragging your coat, dragging me over the coal

A fist to the wall

I would rather be someone else's fool

Past the gate, the sirens fading off again

It never ends when you ain't got friends

And you just can't wait 'til it's light

I would rather be someone else's fool

Darling, can't you see? I've done it all for you

I bite my tongue

Thank God it's done

But I wish you well

But I would rather be someone else's fool

Darling, can't you see that it's true?

But you won't pick up the phone

Maybe someone else could see through it all

I would rather be someone else's fool
