The Foolish Kind (lyrics)

You’re a word that I once heard but should not say aloud
There were days when I would walk with my head in your cloud
And it’s a high place with more than a chance of rain
In this dry space, parched lips will take what they can take

Your silence only leads to violence you said
But I trip the wires when I try to explain
That it’s my way or the highway I want you to leave
No trace of your face, all I know now is

I hope that I die in the sunshine
With bare feet on the earth
Not a cloud in the blue sky as I fall in reverse
But your bitter stony heart will not fly

Let it be a lesson to you and I
Speak for yourself
I am not the foolish kind
