I've played this role many times before,
It seems it would be easier each time they walked out
the door
But my heart still hurts, and the tears still fall
And I sit by the phone hoping they will call
And each time my heart breaks, it doesn't seem like
I'll make it through
I have to ask God why am I always the fool
I thought if you loved someone, they would eventually
love you too
But I guess that it can't be true, or I wouldn't feel
the way I do
So I'll sit here with a broken heart once again
Waiting in silence for the pain to end
And pray that I've played this part for the last time
Hoping the role of fool won't always be mine
