The same old fool
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I haven't changed, I'm still the same old me,
yes I'm still the same old fool I used to be.
I thought this heart of mine would never miss you,
I thought this heart of mine would never cry.
I told myself I'd get along without you,
but I realise I told myself a lie.
I'm still the same old fool I used to be,
I think of you and suddenly I'm helpless.
I haven't changed, I'm still the same old me,
yes I'm still the same old fool I used to be.
Although you've got the kind of love that hurts me,
oh what I'd give if we could start again.
If I could hold you close for just a moment,
I'd gladly let you break my heart again.
I'm still the same old fool I used to be,
I think of you and suddenly I'm helpless.
I haven't changed, I'm still the same old me,
yes I'm still the same old fool I used to be,
yes I'm still the same old fool I used to be.
