A Fool

(Tracy Elliott)
July 1, 2000
The story of only being liked for your physical attributes. Nothing more, nothing less.
A Fool

As I step outside the sun burns my skin
Leaving the sweat from your morning desires
As I lower the blinds the room turns cold
Leaving the chills from your darkest passions
Well I look beyond the mirror to see what you see
Look beyond the window to see you
I see you walking away
As I watch the clock time slips away
Leaving the tick the tock from your afternoon absence
But as I hear the bells the music soothes me
Leaving the blood rush from your late arrival
Well I look beyond the mirror to see what you see
Look beyond the sheets to see you
I see you walking away
What's the obsession with my skin
What's the repulsion with my soul
Why do I lie to myself when it comes to you
Why do I play the fool
You have done this to me
Why have you done this to me
Whhhhhhyyyyyyyyy???
Well now I look beyond the mirror to see what you see
Look beyond my body and I see a fool
I see a fool that's me
