the word fool and foolish here should be treated here as if being in inverted commas. In order to stay consistent with the lyrics, it must be understood that the author is showing her true, unconditional love and, therefore, singing it to her partner, presenting the situation in accordance with her partner's understanding of some matters, ie, she uses her partner's interpretation of the word foolish since "she did search her out", thus,she truly understood her partner.
I was a fool for love - through those lyrics she's trying to get through to her partner, ie, showing she knows her partner thinks she was a fool but she knows she's not which is why she's singing "if you're worried that i might have changed, left behind all my "foolish" ways, you d be best looking for somebody else without a "foolish" heart cause she knows her behaviour was right and she stayed truthful to herself and really loved. It's just sad her partner failed to see it although she tried to show it to her partner so many times, being patient, keep calling. But it was her partner who didnt look beyond her own hurt and got entangled in her own not understood feelings (then you blamed me and blocked me out...then you disappeared for weeks to pout). Her partner is shown in the music video with a smile of content on her face after discarding all the things they shared, it's a symbolism of retaliation which made her feel better but only for a little while. Her partner thought that getting rid of those things and stopping trying will relieve her and free from pain. But this is not happening as the problem is within her partner and not the author's.The problem stays the same, which is actually her partner's internal problems with handling emotions properly, and again, the lack of relief and feeling lost is shown at the end of a music video when she's looking out through the window and, sadly, failing to try to look within.
