[Verse 1]
Beware the danger it lurks for those who get swept away
The dreamers get punished most by the truth they say
It's all in the little ways one reveals their
Love's gone away, love's gone away

[Verse 2]
When my hand was in you hand, my heart was pure
And now I see a different man, rewriting memories
The dogs run down the beach and all I'm left with is
Sand in my shoes, sand in my shoes

[Chorus 1]
Cause fools like me
Oh, we love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me

[Verse 3]
Now I recall that time at the cafe
The thunderstorm outside, words you could never say
They hold the loudest tones, you say you'll write
But it's ink on a page, just ink on a page

[Chorus 2]
With fools like me
Oh, we love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
[Bridge]
And tick-tock the time, distant look grows in your eyes
Fools never ask, afraid what lurks in your mind
I always knew, somehow always knew
I always knew the truth

[Chorus 3]
'Cause fools like me
Oh, we never see
Cause the cracks don't count
Its gotta break in front of me

[Post-Chorus]
And it's breaking
It's breaking
It's breaking
It's gotta break for me to see

[Outro]
At least I can say
I was not afraid
I loved you all the way
I'd pick the fool any day
