Radio says it’s clear

But it’s pouring over here

And justice once again

Reigns over me

Doctor says I’m fine

But I’m hurting all the time

And I try to understand

Life’s too short for playing the fool

And every time I see you

It really breaks my heart

Life’s too short for being untrue

And it’s critical to see

That it’s time to leave

When you try to love and can only be cruel

Life’s too short to be cruel

The words that I most dread

Are the words that go unsaid

Ones you’ve yet to say

They wait for me

You could really cut me down

And can’t hold my ground

So it’s time to say goodbye

Life’s too short for playing the fool

To waste my time in fear

Would  really break my heart

Life’s too short for being untrue

And it’s critical to see

That it’s time to leave

When you try to love and can only be cruel

Life’s too short to be cruel

So, I’m taking no more time

Not even gonna try

Oh not another day

Life’s too short for playing the fool

And every time I see you

It really breaks my heart

Life’s too short for being untrue

And it’s critical to see

That it’s time to leave

When you’re cruel

Life’s too short for playing the fool
