Lyrics of When i was a fool

I re-read silly lines that made sense at the time pages all stained with tears & red wine & i walk through the airport & read magazines so much younger than me every face that i see & i drink & i think my glorious past or the lips that i've kissed how i don't even miss & i smile to myself at how easy this is.. easy to breathe, easy to live i remember when i would tear myself in two. over how to be, what to say & what to do did you really like me better then? did you really like me better when i was a fool? so i live in these days but i still have my old ways my future, somehow, she has yet to arrive & i see all around me the women on time. kids & divorces & crisis in midlife so do i surrender & give up my dream for a brick in the wall & a washing machine who won't care what i've done grow up & get real have a kid in their teens where i've been, what i've seen .. & i wonder why i tear myself in two 'cause i know you liked me better then.. over who to be, where to be & what to do i know you liked me better when i was a fool. 45. i'm free to a fault. playing guitar. i fly down the highway living my life. i belong to no place. sun on my face i cry over poetry. i belong to nobody. & i laugh at myself. than anyone else. still, i'd rather be me.
