Lyrics
King of Fools
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 worry that I can't give you what you need
That you'll find nothing underneath the peel
That I can't undo the times we disagreed
That I can't ignore the way I feel
'Cause what I feel is the only truth I know
And I get by on this naivety of youth
If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I'll receive
Can I leave behind my naivety of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe
Could you hold us up if I would drag us down?
Resurrect emotions from our past
And if they had a king for fools would you wear the crown?
Build us up again and make us last
'Cause what I feel is the only truth for me
And I get by on this naivety of youth
If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I'll receive
Can I still leave behind my naivety of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe
And if we don't worry about a thing
Will we be sorry when the rain is falling again
And what does it matter
If fortune should favor
It's never the final amen
If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I'll receive
Can I still leave behind my naivety of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe
