Listen, don't turn away now
You know there's a first time for these feelings
Speak to me, show me the way now
Are my hopes all empty dreams or must we say goodbye
Couldn't believe my heart could be broken
Didn't you know my defences were down
Now all those words we left unspoken
Turned my whole world upside down
Couldn't you see it in the beginning
Wasn't it obvious right from the start
Only a fool believes he's winning
When he's lost his ace of hearts
Only a fool
Please, don't walk away now
Why do you hurt me with your silence
I can't understand this game you are playing
Lately it's been on my mind I had to let you know
Couldn't believe my heart could be broken
Didn't you know my defences were down
Now all those words we left unspoken
Turned my whole world upside down
Couldn't you see it in the beginning
Wasn't it obvious right from the start
Only a fool believes he's winning
When he's lost his ace of hearts
Couldn't believe my heart could be broken
Didn't you know my defences were down
Now all those words we left unspoken
Turned my whole world upside down
Couldn't you see it in the beginning
Wasn't it obvious right from the start
Only a fool believes he's winning
When he's lost his ace of hearts
Couldn't believe my heart could be broken
Didn't you know my defences were down
Now all those words we left unspoken
Turned my whole world upside down
Couldn't you see it in the beginning
Wasn't it obvious right from the start
Only a fool believes he's winning
When he's lost his ace of hearts
