Cammi McDermott - The Rule Lyrics

I was cryin'when I scrambled for my keys
The night you texted me and told me just to breathe
And I shoulda seen it coming - you don't know a thing about me
And I find myself chasing you 'round town
And I lose my footing on the sinking ground
I shoulda started runnin' the first time you let me down
I let you into my bed & my house & my car
It didn't take me very far
I always say that this'll be the last time, but
Now I'm fallin'at the top of the climb
I'm just a fool
I guess I thought you were an exception to
The Rule
Now I'm sitting by your doorstep in the cold
And you used to smile when you said I was bold
But I'm biting my tongue & I'm pocketing cards that you fold
You've beaten my soul til it's no longer whole
So I think you should know
I always say that this'll be the last time, but
Now I'm fallin'at the top of the climb
I'm just a fool
I guess I thought you were an exception to
The Rule
But I'm exhausted & I'm hurting
And you barely let me get a word in
How can you claim this was working?
I always say that this'll be the last time, but
Now I'm fallin'at the top of the climb
I'm just a fool
Ain't it all too cruel?
I always say I won't let it break me apart
But every time I lose my head & follow my heart
I'm just a fool
I guess I thought you were an exception to
The Rule
