I Should Stop Being Such a Fool

New Song Alert...

Okay... not sure this song is really done, actually. But I'm tired of waiting for the last verse to correct itself, so I'm posting it, anyway, misgivings and all.

As with any of my songs, no matter how long ago they were written, there's a pretty good chance the music will evolve -- or mutate -- certainly, this performance leaves much to be desired. But -- anyhow -- here it is.

Hard to believe I used to be a marketing guy... huh?

(I Told Myself) I Should Stop Being Such a Fool

I told my self
Life has no meaning
I told myself
I should stop dreaming
I told myself
I should stop being such a fool

I told myself
love's just a lie
I told myself
I should get wise
I told myself
being kind is just being cruel

Lookin in my heart
was like lookin' in a well
and if there was a bottom
you couldn't really tell
as dark as midnight
all the way down to hell
one day I looked in
and then I just fell

Then I looked in my soul
and I saw that it was empty
and I said to myself
just like the rest of them
and i said out loud
from here on
it's all 'bout number one

But I added that up
and I factored in forever
I subtracted my dreams then
divided that by never
When I saw the bottom line
I sat down -- I knew that
I was done

Lookin in my heart...

Back then I told my self
Life has no meaning
And I told myself
I should stop dreaming
Then I told myself
I should stop being such a fool

But then I thought to myself
what's it all for?
and I thought to myself
must be something more
and I realized all at once
there's more than one kind of fool

I walked around the world

The Let Down.

He didn't see it coming.

He thought he was happy. Maybe, even, in love. And for the longest time she seemed to be in love with him.

In fact, he kept telling himself, there was no reason to think she wasn't, still.

So, why did he feel like it was inevitable?

And, knowing its inevitability, there seemed no reason to put it off.

Sometimes

Sometimes I think about ya
think about, think about
think about the things
I thought I'd do for you

Sometimes I wonder
how you're doing now
I think about it
but I think it turned out best
when I think it through

I know I let you down
I let you down, I let you down
I let ya down hard
and I blamed it all on you

I threw your love away
and I laughed and I laughed
I laughed until I died
and when I came to...

the world -- it was dead
and I walked around and I walked around
I walked around the world
but I couldn't find you

I tore my soul open
it was empty, it was empty
a tunnel into nowhere
and I never got thru

sometimes I think about ya
think about ya, think about ya
think about the world I mighta had with you
