Kissing a Fool

you are far

when I could have been your star

you listened to people

who scared you to death

and from my heart

strange that you were strong enough

to even make a start

but you'll never find

peace of mind

till you listen to your heart

chorus

people

you can never change the way the feel

better let them do just what they will

for they will

if you let them

steal your heart from you

people

will always make a lover feel a fool

but you knew I loved you

we could have shown them all

we should have seen love through

fooled me with the tears in your eyes

covered me with kisses and lies

so goodbye

but please don't take my heart

you are far

I'm never gonna be your star

I'll pick up the pieces

and mend my heart

maybe I'll be strong enough

I don't know where to start

but I'll never find

peace of mind

while I listen to my heart

chorus

but remember this

every other kiss

that you'll ever give

long as we both live

when you need the hand of another man

one you really can surrender with

I will wait for you

like I always do

there's something there

that can't compare with any other

you are far

when I could have been your star

you listened to people

who scared you to death

and from my heart

strange that I was wrong enough

to think you'd love me too

I guess you were kissing a fool

you must have been kissing a fool
