The Richest Fool Alive Lyrics

There's just no way of goin' back to change what's come and gone
but if i could go back in time id undo what you've done
i wouldn't look into your eyes and go completely blonde
or listen to your pretty words and leave my heart behind.
if heartache were treasures and pain could be sold
if dreams were made of silver promises of gold
tear drops were diamonds measured in lies
id have a broken heart worth millions and be the richest fool alive.
next time i listen to my friends take their advice to heart
and avoid all of this misery i could of ended from the start
but fools in love don't listen they don't know right from wrong
they see just what they wanna see and miss it when its gone
if heartaches were treasure and pain could be sold if dreams were made of
silver promises of gold tear drops were diamonds measured in lies id have a
broken heart were millions and be the richest fool alive id have a broken heart
wert moillions and be the richest fool alive.
