"Left Me A Fool"  
by the Indigo Girls

Everybody loves you
and they want to know your story
you go riding out a mystery
concealed in all your glory
but when it comes to flesh and bone
you remind me of Shelot
only made of shadows
even though you're not

I remember how I spent
all my energy and time
with affected conversation
I was trying to pry inside your mind
You are as beautiful as truth
and as empty as a shell
but I came to you one night 
and it made me feel like hell

~chorus:~~~ 
Up to reach the water's surface
just to find an empty pool
and to suffer all your pride
as I lay down by your side
and you swallowed up my heart
and left me a fool
left me a fool...
~~~~~

Everybody loves a hero
an image to create
an antithesis of everything
inside ourselves we hate
but you had better close your eyes
when it's time to roll the die
'cause you'd hate to think
the life you built upon them was a lie

~chorus~

I've resigned myself to silence
and will never blow your cover
no one ever has to know
who the hero took for lover
but it comes to light as you blaze on
and as brilliant as a star
how many you've left behind
and how many casualties there are

~chorus~
