V1 -
Looking out over the city
All the streets, they look so busy

Out of millions I'm here thinking about you

Maybe it's the lights making me

Feel this way tonight
Or just the fact you used to look at this same view


PRE -
But oh, oh, oh,
nothing's changed

After all, you're still the same

But oh, oh, oh,

if I changed
Was less familiar would you stay?


CHORUS -
If I was less of a fool
If I hadn't admitted myself to you

And if you never knew
How crazy and frustrating I am
Hard to be around somedays

If I had only known I'd fall for you
I'd fall for you


V2 -
Watching all the ones I envy
How they turn and run so pretty

Still I can't give you the chase you've given me

Now it's all out on the table

You can run willing and able
But you know this secret that I keep
And you don't leave


But I'd rather watch you struggle
Than watch you pretend you're humble

You know how hard it is for me
To hear you call me friend


PRE

CHORUS


BRIDGE
You're like a flower to me

And when you're here blossoming
I take what I can get
Cause you'll soon fall away


And I see the leaves are changing
I'll never be like home to you

But I'll still watch you go as you fade

And I will pray

that someday
I'll be less of a fool
Next time around

I won't reveal so much of this to you

Tell me now

If you never knew me in this way
And how crazy and frustrating I am
Hard to be around you these days

I wish I had known I'd fall for you

Cause if I'd only known I'd fall for you

I'd be less of a fool
If I had only known I'd fall for you
I'd fall for you
