Fool's Requiem Lyrics

I'm not quite sure what I expected to come

From years spent distracted

I'm far from pure, a martyr for the causes you enacted

But I'm sick of thinking in past-tense

So what's it for? Why am I breathing so slowly

I'm a fool to feel this lonely

And for wanting more from those that barely know me

If you could see me now, you wouldn't hold me so closely

I bet that you'd change

While I always stay the same

I've exhausted my claim

On your memory and my name

So who am I to say

To those lost and gone away

That it's time we headed home

I'd just get in the way

With pain showing on my face

I'm a fool to feel so alone

Even if I wanted to I wouldn't

Leave you where you never should have been

Maybe I could learn to be more prudent

But we both know I'm not who I could've been

I think the time has come when I accept it

You're all gone, gone for good

So much left to learn but this is how you left it

Now I'll let you go, like I said I would

So who am I to say

To those lost and gone away

That it's time we headed home

I'd just get in the way

With pain showing on my face

I'm a fool to feel so alone

I'm a fool to feel so alone
