The Carefree Fool

The Carefree Fool

I once met a fool,
the very worst kind.
The carefree kind,
but he had those unfazed, amazed eyes.

Let the world spin,
and all the people with it.
why should I tag along,
he mumbles stubbornly.

Tired of these predictable games and routines.
Too proud to play, and too lazy to pretend.

Back then, I could look at you without intentions.
moments of pure awe and innocence.
We would play pretend we didn't love each other.

How was it like to impressed,
like the OMG for real? kinda impressed.
How was it like to be grateful,
for the things you'd never feel you deserved.
What is with this emptiness,
that screams to be filled.

I never wanted your answers,
but just to find mine.

And just when all hope seemed lost,
I found that carefree fool again.
Ha! I knew the world would come back to me,
He said, that stupid alter ego of mine.



It's never been easy for me
To find words to go along with a melody,
but this time there's actually something on my mind,
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines.

For years I've been telling myself the same old story
that I'm happy to live off my so-called former glories

And now I know based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet.
All I'm asking you
is don't write me off just yet.
