I ONLY WANTED TO
Mesh
In This Place Forever (1996)

Empty thoughts could be so cruel
but empty words make life so full
said I owed it all to you
So I took the measure of your pleasure

You thought you knew my simple heart
But you didn't recognise the crucial part
its always too soon
stepped out of line too far this time

I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to look what you made me do


You fold like paper in my hands
You fell for everything I planned
You didn't see it till it touched your sweet face
Made me you hate me
Never forgave me


I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to look what you made me do

Violently the moment came
and someone knew they'd take the blame
a viscous streak a mile wide
so you learnt the hard way
but who cares any way

I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to make a fool of you
I only wanted to look what you made me do
