My excuse is only human
   Like any animal that breathes
   Just to find a scent that's soothing
   I give you power over me
  
   I'm more weak than strong
   And not a stranger to a fall
   But I won't leave you
   Till I turn to find you gone
   I'm the biggest fool of all
  
   There's no path of least resistance
   It's a fable that you've heard
   Any love that lacks conviction
   Is gonna grovel in the dirt
   God this road is long
   And surrounded by a wall
   But I won't leave you
   Till I turn to find you gone
   I'm the biggest fool of all
  
   Foolish as the prisoner
   That listens for the jangling keys
   And smart enough to know
   That it's crazy I should run
   When you've got no claim on me
  
   So before your panic taunts you
   To make relations disappear
   You could help to ease my conscience
   If just for once by standing here
   I'm more weak than strong
   And surrounded by a wall
   But I won't leave you
   Till I turn to find you gone
   I'm the biggest fool of all
