Foolish Heartstrings

Foolish Heartstrings<br /><br />(Verse 1) <br />We were young and wild, chasing dreams, <br />Late night drives, little whispered schemes, <br />You come close, under stars so bright, <br />Dancing in the dark, everything felt right. <br /><br />(Chorus) <br />Oh, I was so foolish, thinking love could last, <br />Memories in my pocket, shadows from the past, <br />You come close, then it slips away, <br />Foolish heartstrings pulling me astray. <br /><br />(Verse 2) <br />Remember summer nights by the lakeside, <br />Laughing at the world, you were my guide, <br />But seasons change, and so did we, <br />Now I’m left with echoes, just your memory. <br /><br />(Chorus) <br />Oh, I was so foolish, thinking love could last, <br />Memories in my pocket, shadows from the past, <br />You come close, then it slips away, <br />Foolish heartstrings pulling me astray. <br /><br />(Bridge) <br />Now I'm walking this lonely road, <br />Searching for the answers in a heavy load, <br />Stressed and humble, trying to find my way, <br />Nostalgia hits like a wave at the end of the day. <br /><br />(Verse 3) <br />I see your face in every crowded room, <br />And when I smile, it only masks the gloom, <br />I’m still that kid, dreaming wide awake, <br />But love, it stings, like every mistake. <br /><br />(Chorus) <br />Oh, I was so foolish, thinking love could last, <br />Memories in my pocket, shadows from the past, <br />You come close, then it slips away, <br />Foolish heartstrings pulling me astray. <br /><br />(Outro) <br />Now I sit here, with tears in a flow, <br />Haunted by the moments that I’ll never know, <br />You come close, but my heart’s in a cage, <br />Foolish for believing it would never change.
