So here I stand
Breaking all the rules
The master of his plans
A special kind of fool.

I held her in my arms
And watched her love grow cool
My heart was safe from harm
A special kind of fool

I could have kept it to myself
And never brought her tears
I should have realised
That I’d throw away those years

The years we could have spent
In love not self regret
Just her and me with only us
But I went and lost the bet
