Lyrics

Hard-won days, from hard-won nights. They lead you astray, get back in the fight. Time takes no prisoners, doesn't need to try.
I turn myself in, to the gathering night.

I won’t wear it, it looks better on you
I won't wear it cause you know you've got to.
They say that love is just a game not a truth,
so you better go back to school,
love is only for the fools.

Saw that you liked it, I wrote this check.
It bounced, then it sank, I’m up to my neck.
These are the stories that I tell myself,
infinity split, and everything misspelt.
I won’t wear it, it looks better on you
I won't wear it cause you know you've got to.
They say that love is just a game not a truth,
so you better go back to school,
love is only for the fools.

Heart knows what it wants, does it know what it needs? If you figure that out, it’s easy as 1, 2, 3.
I’ve seen you halfway up, I met you halfway down
I watched you stumble and I picked up your crown.

I won’t wear it, it looks better on you
I won't wear it cause you know you've got to.
They say that love is just a game not a truth,
so you better go back to school,
love is only for the fools.

Fool, you’re such a..
Fool, you know you’re a…
Fool, Oh!
