Still the fool for the state? A song

Boom bo boom Boom bo boom

Just why I stay around
When all I find is a heartache
I believe your every word
Didn't know the hurt and pain that you'd make

But why does it take so long
Alas, now I've seen the light
My heart wants to say

No more the fool
Who waits around
Waitin' for you to bring me down
Those days are going now (oh I wish...)

I spend the nights
Layin' awake
Cryin' and waitin' for the day to break
That dreadful sound as my dreams fall and hit the ground
While I wait around
I feel a fool

You don't think I'll break
You might be wrong
I can see what's goin' on
Yes I know
Here I am I'm alive
And you'll see I'll survive
My child needs you

I don't want to be the one who comes a runnin'
It ain't like it used to be
Why won't you now run to me

No more the fool
Who waits around
Waiting for you to bring me down
I want those days gone now...

No more the nights
Layin' awake
Cryin' and waitin' for the dawn to break
That dreadful sound as my dreams fall and hit the ground
While I wait around
I feel a fool

All the days I wait for you to call
I wait for a sign that you will house us
But it's so clear
You don't care at all

Nooooooooooooooo mooooooooooooore the foooooooool
No more the fool
Who waits around No more the fool
No more the clown No more the fool

No more the sight
No more the sound
And hit the ground
I feeeel a fool

No more the fool
Who waits around
Waiting for you to bring me down
Why can't you house us now?

No more those nights
Laying awake
Cryin' and waitin' for the day to break
Those dreadful sounds as my dreams fall and hit the ground
While I wait around
I'm not a fool
No nooooooooo a fool

(Elkie Brooks featuring Stigmum. Thanks goes to Familyaffairs mum for making me think of this tune this morning. The original is very good if pain relates to a real person, not a real system )

Thanks farttart, she is oh yeah! If I knew how to put a link that opened another page whilst still able to read this one, then a reader such as you, could listen to the original, or sing along to the tweaked! One day I'll figure it out!!
