Foolish Lyrics

I can't believe that once again
I can't believe I understand
I can't believe that once again
I can't believe I almost stand

I felt the fool
Shamed by the truth

I see the ones I took alive
I see the hate within my
Life
I breed the ones I knew I could
I breed the one who always
Knew

I felt the fool
Shamed by the truth
And I see (I see)
Reasons for feeling your rules

I felt the fool
Shamed by the truth
And I see (I see)
Reasons for feeling your rules

I can't believe it once again
I can't belive I understand
I can't believe it once again
I can't believe I almost

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is actually called The Fool, a song from the 1993 demo of a band called Thread. There was pretty much no information on the interweb about this song other than it being listed on various lyrics sites.
