Length: 3:21
Release: 2017
Opening Lyrics:
You must think that I’m a fool
You must think that I’m new to this
But I have seen this all before
Even though you mean the most to me
‘Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So, I’m never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt
