Foolish Pride

Take a step out to the left, take a step out to the right
Find yourself in the same place in the middle of the night
Memories and moments, things we used to share
Question all the truths, did you really care
And it don’t do a thing for you
And it won’t do a thing for me
As long as you follow your foolish pride
That’s the way it’s going to be
The first and last of fallen angels, they gather in your room
They offer you sweet mercy, come a minute not to soon
You disregard their wisdom, baby, you lie awake, close your eyes
Put yourself in a state of confusion where you can’t be compromised
And it don’t do a thing for you
And it won’t do a thing for me
As long as you follow your foolish pride
That’s the way it’s going to be
Beware the bridges that you burn, you may need to pass back through
These are the lessons that you learn
Now what will you do
You’ve got to come through
But your tear–stained eyes deceive you, misery ain’t free
You become your only victim, you call for help from me
But I can’t help you, baby, I can’t turn back any clocks
You’re caught inside the madness of your own sad paradox
I’d like to reach you, baby, but there’s nothing I can say
I’d like to hear you, honey, but you’re fading far away
And it don’t do a thing for you
And it won’t do a thing for me
As long as you follow your foolish pride
That’s the way it’s going to be
