Just why I stayed around When all I found was heartache I believed your every word Didn't know the hurt and pain that you'd make But why did it take so long At last now I've seen the light I've found the heart to say No more the fool who waits around Waiting for you to bring me down Those days are gone now No more the nights lying awake Crying and waiting for the day to break No more the sound as my dreams Fall and hit the ground While I wait around No more the fool You thought I'd break, then you were wrong That I won't see what's going on But I knew Here I am, I'm alive And you'll see I'll survive without you And I won't be the one who comes running It ain't like it used to be It's your turn to run to me No more the fool who waits around Waiting for you to bring me down Those days are gone now No more the nights lying awake Crying and waiting for the day to break No more the sound as my dreams Fall and hit the ground While I wait around No more the fool All the nights I've waited for you to call I've waited for a sign that you would stay But it's so clear You didn't care at all No more the fool No more the fool who waits around No more the fool No more the clown No more the fool No more the sight no more the sound As my dreams fall and hit the ground No more the fool No more the fool who waits around Waiting for you to bring me down Those days are gone now No more the nights lying awake Crying and waiting for the day to break No more the sound as my dreams Fall and hit the ground While I wait around No more the fool No more the fool who waits around No more the fool no more the clown No more the fool No more the sight No more sound As my dreams fall and hit the ground No more the fool
