Fools & Kings Songtext
(Verse)
I was the blind man that thought he could see
I'm looking for something that was right here with me.
I just let you go, what the fuck did I do?
Thought I was the wise man, but I was the fool.

(Pre-Chorus)
See, it turns out that everybody makes mistakes when they're young
Learning how to love, trust me, I made the bun,
Ever still now, I regret one thing,
I never should have let you leave.

(Chorus)
So we could be fools or we could be kings
Girl, without you I'm not anything.
Now I know the rules, I'm missing a queen,
So girl, I need you to make me a king.

(Verse)
You were a treasure, why didn't I know?
That I had a jewel that I was treating like coal.
Now I wouldn't trade you for all the gold in the world
Cause baby, you're priceless, worth more than diamonds and pearls.

(Pre-Chorus)
You see, the truth is,
When it comes to love I've got something to prove
No more running round like I've got nothing to lose
Cause in the end, I only regret one thing,
Like why did I let you leave.

(Chorus)
So we could be fools or we could be kings
Girl, without you I'm not anything.
Now I know the rules, I'm missing a queen,
So girl, I need you to make me a king.

(Bridge)
I really wish I would have thought this through
Cause all I really know is my life with you.
Thought I'm running away and took all, I'm crownless,
But I made it worse, what am I to do?

(Pre-Chorus)
Cause girl, I never realized how was it, I can't tell,
Till I heard the time one was taking my place
If I can make a change, I swear to God I'd do it
So I gotta give you one more try.

(Chorus)
So we could be fools or we could be kings
Girl, without you I'm not anything.
Now I know the rules, I'm missing a queen,
So girl, I need you to make me a king.
