Foolish Lullaby Lyrics

You always run to me whenever she leaves you
We trade philosophy, but nothing can free you
Too many poison arrows hit the heart you've tried to hide
Can't you say goodbye to this foolish lullaby?

Still you talk as if she didn't hurt you
But I see what she did and you see the virtue
You refuse to hear the words that lie behind your eyes
Can't you say goodbye to this foolish lullaby?

If you're so sure that she's the one, why are you lying here with me?
Did it ever cross your mind at all of how this feels to me?
I'll never know just what you see in her, I don't even want to try
I guess the both of us sing a foolish lullaby

So we'll wear the goodbye look collecting excuses
For all the time it took to hide the abuses
The thorns around the roses left their mark below our eyes
Can't we say goodbye to this foolish lullaby?

If you're so sure that she's the one, why are you lying here with me?
Did it ever cross your mind at all of how this feels to me?
I'll never know just what you see in her, I don't even want to try
I guess the both of us sing a foolish lullaby
