My excuse is only human
Like any animal that breathes
Just to find a scent that's soothing
I give you power over me

I'm more weak than strong
And not a stranger to a fall
But I won't leave you
Till I turn to find you gone
I'm the biggest fool of all

There's no path of least resistance
It's a fable that you've heard
Any love that lacks conviction
Is gonna grovel in the dirt
God this road is long
And surrounded by a wall
But I won't leave you
'Til I turn to find you gone
I'm the biggest fool of all

Foolish as the prisoner
That listens for the jangling keys
And smart enough to know
That it's crazy I should run
When you've got no claim on me

So before your panic taunts you
To make relations disappear
You could help to ease my conscience
If just for once by standing here
I'm more weak than strong
And surrounded by a wall
But I won't leave you
'Til I turn to find you gone
I'm the biggest fool of all
