Give the world another fool [Verse 2] So if you’re gonna stay Don’t just say it Stay and really stay I don’t want any more goodbyes Any more disguise No more tossing coins Or him between your loins And if you’re gonna stay I’ll place you high upon a hill And with my hands I’ll build a tower in your name And you will do the same Won’t you my love? Won’t you my love? Won’t you my love? [Chorus] Or turn and walk away I’ve overspoken Said all that I can say I know that I can kneel and kiss your feet Walk ahead and clear the street So you don’t have to meet But what good would it do Give the world another fool [Chorus] So turn and walk away I’ve overspoken Now what more can I say? I know that I can kneel and I can cry Hell I know That I can show you how I died Now what good would it do Give the world another fool Just sitting on this stool   N.C. I’m close to giving up on you [Outro]                                                                     (this is long one then he starts playing faster)                                                                                           N.C.

La chanson exprime la douleur d'un cœur brisé face à la perspective d'une séparation. L'interlocuteur se sent vulnérable, conscient que la personne aimée pourrait le quitter, ce qui amplifie son angoisse et son sentiment de trahison. Il se débat entre l'espoir de bâtir une relation solide et la peur d'un nouvel abandon, oscillant entre l'acceptation et le désespoir. Le ton de la chanson évoque une quête désespérée d'authenticité dans la relation, où l'engagement serait vraiment sincère, loin des mensonges et des faux-semblants. C'est une réflexion sur les luttes émotionnelles que l'on traverse lorsqu'on aime profondément, tout en redoutant de devenir un « fou » par la perte de celui ou celle qui nous tient à cœur.
