Lyrics What a Fool I've Been - Crystal Lewis

Lonely days gone by without you in my life
Even though I've tried so hard
I don't forget what you learned along the way
Talk to Him and keep Him close to you

I've lived dangerously
Not noticing at all what I quickly could become so soon
He is always there
He's always been around
You will see Him when you change your view

What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been
Just to think that I could live my life
Like time was on my side

Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I could not see through all the pain I caused
I was lost for my sin blinded me
We serve a great God
For when we turn away
He remains so faithfully close to you

What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been
Just to think that I could live my life
Like I would never die

You were the one to take me back
You were the one
You were the one, You were the one
You were the one
You were the one
You were the one
You take me as I am

What a fool that I've been, thug livin', fightin', and sippin' gin
Playing with girls' emotions, drownin' in a pool of sin
Hear the Lord keep knocking on my door, but I won't let him in
Sufferin', broken-hearted and searching for a friend
What's the plan, now my partner's doing 25 to life
Nothin' nice when your life is filled with all this pain and strife
Messed up so many times, committed horrible crimes
On my knees cryin' beggin' forgive me, Lord
One more time

What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been
Just to think that I could live my life
Like I would never die

Father, forgive me for the life that I be livin'
I know I been forgiven
But why do I feel like I'm in prison?
'Cause Lord, I know I did wrong, didn't wanna do right
Should have been gone, but Ya held on me so tight
So nevertheless, I kept on runnin' from my problems
So I kept on grindin', so maybe Lordy I could solve 'em
But you know I couldn't
But then I thought You'd leave me, but You wouldn't
So Lordy, please believe me
