The Fool

Let's talk about this fool that I'm sure we both know
 She's tryin' to stand on her own after fallin' once more
 She's too quick to let some one in
 She's crazy as hell when she drinks too much gin
 She wants to feel needed, but she never felt more alone
 She watered her garden in hopes it would trigger a flood
 Life is too short and too long to live stuck in mud
 The rain never lasts very long
 She chases those storms no matter how strong
 She sees the wheels turning but really she's digging a rut
 She smiles like an angel in daylight but breaks after dark
 She's managed to love you with one big old hole in her heart
 So let her down easy tonight
 She longs to feel love, but don't hold her too tight
 She thinks that she wants you, she really needs anything but
 So let's talk about this fool that I'm sure we both know
