Foolish Thoughts

Foolish thoughts betray me
Running circles in my head
cleverly hidden in the action
Are the truthful words unsaid.

Foolish thoughts betray me
As they whisper I love you
But what about these actions
Is what lovers do?

Foolish thoughts betray me
Full of hope and love and such
The pick me up only after
I've dropped to my knees too much

Foolish thoughts betray me
When I let them stay too long
I've got to let them go
If I ever want to be strong.

Foolish thoughts betray me
Make me forget just what I want
They tease me with their taste,
in their memories they taunt.

Foolish thoughts betray me
Wanting for another day
A dream of us forever
A hint of he will stay.

Foolish thoughts betray me
But they are of my own device
It's easy to say don't listen
but hard to follow your own advice.

Foolish thoughts betray me
just because they can
Foolish thoughts they hurt me
More than I can stand
