Lyrics
fool?s Gate
Verse
i will dive into the rocky arms of fate
ripples go their way
where minds hesitate
but you?re too smart to be effected
by my wait that you closed up,
but i stay open like a fool?s gate
chorus
? cause i was meant to wait
at the fool?s gate
Verse
i was looking for the greatest parts of you
this reflects the side of me i wish you knew
but i threw salt into your wounds
at such a rate that you closed up
but i stay open like a fool?s gate
chorus
? cause i was meant to wait
at the fool?s gate
Bridge
but i put your picture in a locket
and carry you?re kind heart in my pocket
keep your laughter under my tongue
and i?ll face disaster if you never come
? cause i was meant to wait?
Verse
i have questions if you haven?t yet decided
you can read my face
cause god won?t let me hide it
and i will try not to make the same mistake
when you close i stay open like a fool?s gate.
chorus
? cause i was meant to wait
at the fool?s gate
