Well here I stand
Before you a broken man
With head in hands
And what a fool I am
To think you'd ever wanna
Have your eyes meet with mine
Again
After what I did
And wonderin' where I'd been
All this time

'Cause I guess it was the spotlight
That drove me away
Or dreamin' that old billboard
Would be flashin' my name
Now here I stand before you
Just a fraction of the man
I used to be
Prayin' you'll forgive the fool in me
The fool in me

You ain't never seen
A thing like Miami Beach
Or Alberta gold
Oh it was good to be home
But all the time that tI've been takin'
For the things that I thought
I'm supposed to do
Well all that I could do
Was think of you
And everything you meant to me

'Cause I guess it was the spotlight
That drove me away
Or dreamin' that old billboard
Would be shinin' my name
Now here I stand before you
Just a fraction of the man I used to be
Prayin you'll forgive the fool in me

Well I need to know
Is time to let go?
I need to hold
Onto something real

'Cause I guess it was the spotlight
That drove me away
Or dreamin' that old billboard
Would be flashin' my name
Now here I stand before you
Just a fraction of the man I used to be
Prayin' you'll forgive the fool in me

(Fool, fool in me)
Cause all I'm ever gonna be is a fool
(Fool, fool in me)
Just the fool in me
(Fool, fool in me)
The fool in me
