No More By The Fool - Elkie Brooks

Just why I stayed around when all I found was a 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 found the heart to say

No more the fool who went 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 will see I’ll survive without you

and I won’t be the one who comes running

It ain’t like it used to be Here’s your turn to run to me all the nights I waited for you to call

I waited for a sign that you would stay

but it’s so clear you didn’t care at all
