lyrics

I've been a fool about my money
I've been a fool about it all
And even though I don't have anything at all
I feel good
I feel free

I'm just a fool without an excuse
How did I think that I could take this much abuse
Every day I wake up only to run myself back into the ground
But I still feel good
I feel free

I was a fool to go and open up my big mouth
Now I'm turning what should have been whispers into shouts
And even though I don't have many friends left at all I still feel good
I feel free

I was a fool to take this kind of chance
The heartbreak is never worth the initial romance
And even though I don't have anybody to love
I still feel good
I feel free
