Left Me A Fool Lyrics - Strange Fire - Indigo Girls

everybody loves you 

and they want to know your story 

you go riding out a mystery 

concealed in all your glory 

but when it comes to flesh and bones 

you remind me of shallot 

only made of shadows 

even though you're not 

i remember how i spent 

all my energy and time 

with affected conversation 

trying to pry inside your mind 

you are as beautiful as truth 

and as empty as a shell 

and i came to you one night 

and it made me feel like hell

oh to reach through all your surface 

just to find an empty pool 

and to suffer all your pride 

as i lay down by your side 

and you swallowed up my heart 

and left me a fool 

left me a fool 

everybody loves a hero 

an image to create 

the antithesis of everything 

inside ourselves we hate 

but you'd better close your eyes 

when it's time for them to die 

because you'd hate to think the life 

you'd built upon them was a lie

oh to reach through all your surface 

just to find an empty pool 

and to suffer all your pride 

as i lay down by your side 

and you swallowed up my heart 

and left me a fool 

left me a fool 

i resign myself to silence 

i will never blow your cover 

no one ever has to know 

who the hero took for lover 

but it comes to mind as you blaze on 

as brilliant as a star 

how many you've left behind 

how many casualties there are 

oh to reach through all your surface 

just to find an empty pool 

and to suffer all your pride 

as i lay down by your side 

and you swallowed up my heart 

and left me a fool 

left me a fool
