Just like the fool in the story
And like the fool in the play
I let you take the soul of me
To play with then cast it away

In the heart of a fool that is broken
And tossed like a ship at sea
There's a story old,
that's never been told
Of the wreck you've made of me
Like a baby would break all its playthings
You broke my heart, you were cruel
Tho' you've been untrue,
there's a prayer still for you
Down in the heart of a fool

In the heart of a fool that is broken
And tossed like a ship at sea
There's a story old,
that's never been told
Of the wreck you've made of me
Like a baby would break all its playthings
You broke my heart, you were cruel
Tho' you've been untrue,
there's a prayer still for you
Down in the heart of a fool

Just like a fool I still want you
Without you I cannot live
If you would say forget the past
In time I could learn to forgive

In the heart of a fool that is broken
And tossed like a ship at sea
There's a story old,
that's never been told
Of the wreck you've made of me
Like a baby would break all its playthings
You broke my heart, you were cruel
Tho' you've been untrue,
there's a prayer still for you
Down in the heart of a fool

In the heart of a fool that is broken
And tossed like a ship at sea
There's a story old,
that's never been told
Of the wreck you've made of me
Like a baby would break all its playthings
You broke my heart, you were cruel
Tho' you've been untrue,
there's a prayer still for you
Down in the heart of a fool
