I Was a Fool (To Let You Go)

After I've had my last cigarette
 When the night is as black
 As the night's goin' to get
 Well I'm still wide awake
 Cause I still can't forget
 I was a fool to let you go
 And after I've closed
 The bar with the boys
 Though I can't stand the drinks
 And I can't stand the noise
 When I know I'll be back
 Cause there's no other choice
 I know I was a fool to let you go
 I was a fool to think that I could sleep a wink
 In this big and deep bed by myself
 And I was a fool to wait until it was too late
 To tell you just how I felt
 And after I've been
 With somebody new
 And she knows what to say
 Ah, but not what to do
 Then I know what I've lost
 And I know it's so true
 No, I was a fool to let you go
 And after I've been
 With somebody new
 And she knows what to say
 Ah, but not what to do
 Then I know what I've lost
 And I know it's so true
 When I've seen what it cost
 And what I'm going through
 I know I was a fool
 I was a fool to let you go
