Not a Fool - Emily Elbert

Time swept our love out with the rain*

And my heart slipped away

To the darkest of caves

And didn’t come back for days

Now I sleep alone in our old bed

And I stage out my thoughts

And the unlikely plots

The things that remain unsaid

But I was not a fool

For believing in you

Not a fool

Just in over my head

We said that we would be good friends

But your shoulder turned cold

And your arms just let go

And found someone else instead

When I find the right one to love me

Don’t call me saying that you’re feeling lonely

Cause I’ve been lonely

And I don’t need you

To waltz on in and expect to win cause you don’t have a clue

Now I watch the snow

And feel the change

Now that wintertime’s here

My mind starts to clear

I feel like myself again

No I’m nobody’s fool

Maybe find somebody new

Not a fool, but a lover instead
