A Toast To The Fool

6 o’clock on a Thursday evening
Sitting at the bar crying.
Looking 4 answers at the bottom of a glass
Wrong place to look, but U keep trying.
I didn’t notice u from across the room
Or even when I walked thru the door.
I notice you from a pass remembrance
I’ve been in your shoes before.
Now I don’t know what happened
But love can be an undesirable pain.
At the end u say to yourself
I can’t experience this again.
You could if u had to
You’re speaking from a pain u don’t understand.
But once u see the good side of love
You’ll understand it’s worth doing again.
Next time don’t fall in love
Grow in love u’ll see how much it’s worth.
Because every time we fall
We always seem to get hurt.
I just stop in to have a drink
To release a little stress from work you know.
But let’s give a toast
To the fool who let you go.
