Oh, foolish boy,
To me you cry in pain.
I’ve done it again
Broken a heart
Just one more
Not even knowing it.
Foolish boy,
Oh, foolish boy,
You confess your love to me
You think I’m scared
Think I’m worried
Think I’m afraid
Of life without you by my side.
You know I’d hate to leave
Even though you see
What future I’m running toward
You know I’d hate to leave,
To choose,
Between you
And my fate,
My only hope at chasing my fading dream.
You confess your love
Again and again
To ease your suffering
And in hopes of easing mine.
In hopes
Of reassuring me
That you would follow,
Yes, you would follow.
Foolish boy,
Oh, foolish boy,
Has it never crossed your mind?
Perhaps your not invited.
Perhaps the choice isn’t between you
And a future far away.
Perhaps the choice is simply
You.
It’d kill you to hear that
Cut you deeper than I could bear.
So I shall never say it
Never out loud,
For I love you still,
Foolish boy,
I love you so…
But my mind cannot ignore
That we only coexist
And dream of a relationship
That we once had
But no longer lingers about this home,
No longer lives
Except in our memories
And perhaps in our false hopes.
Foolish boy,
Foolish boy,
However could I explain,
However could I explain
Without breaking your tender
Young, very young heart.
I love you so…
