[Verse 1]
Put on my running gear
I knew that this was coming, I
Picked up my phone and called my favourites
I knew I had to sit you down
But sitting you down could not prepare you
For another night like this
We made a promise that we always would be honest, I
Never thought that I would break again
Circled Holland Park
Cold when I came back and sat you down
For yet another night like this

[Chorus]
I wish we could play the fools again

[Verse 2]
Each word is a cut that I see coming, I
Clench my fists as I'm inflicting them
And now I'm running out of parts that I can play
Not the hero, not the dodger, not the preacher's son
You ask me why I'd wanna break the very thing I love thе most
You knew I couldn't answer plainly
Then you knеlt down on the ground like you were drawing in the sand
And I surrender, I surrender now
[Chorus]
I wish we could play the fools again
Go back, or just skip to the end
I wish we could play the fools again

[Refrain]
How could you not?

[Verse 3]
On the floor we painted white
You're picking up the pieces
Reminding me of love and what we would look like without it
It's not a problem that is yours to fix
As this pours into your life
The streetlights on and off again
Enough is enough is enough
Will that someday be us?

[Chorus]
I wish we could play the fools again
Go back, or just skip to the end
I wish we could play the fools again

[Refrain]
How could you not
Blame me?
How could you not
Blame me?
How could you not?
How could you not?
How could you not?
