When A Fool Learns

(album: Back In The Fire - 1989)

Wish I was in your shoes
I wish you were hurting me instead of me hurting you
I wish that you were walking out on me again
Wish I could feel your heart
'Cause I know the way it feels to be left broken apart
I wish that I could be your fool right to the end

But when a fool learns how to say it's over
When a fool leaves he's never coming back
Once he's learned his lesson there's no one quite as strong
When a fool learns how to say goodbye, he's gone

I wish I still loved you
I wish that fire still raged inside like it used to do
I wish that I could hold you and pretend it does
I wish my heart was wrong
I wish that I could fight it but the feeling's all gone
Wish I was that forgiving fool I always was

But when a fool learns how to say it's over
When a fool leaves he's never coming back
Once he's learned his lesson there's no one quite as strong
When a fool learns how to say goodbye, he's gone

When a fool learns how to say it's over
When a fool leaves he's never coming back
Once he's learned his lesson there's no one quite as strong
When a fool learns how to say goodbye, he's gone...
