Idiot Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I cut my phone off
Should've been cut off
Way that you cut off love from me

I spent another night crying in the bed
Just lying the way that you lied to me
And maybe damn I even put my plans off
Just so you can put off you and me

I gave you everything
And you gave me nothing
You gave me nothing but history

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to be caught in the middle
Between the tricks and the games and your riddles
And now I'm starting to see just a little
I'm wondering

[Chorus]
What kind of idiot
Sleeps on this heart of mine? (Heart of mine?)
What kind of idiot
Ain't gonna realize
That I'm worth the time?
I know you not stupid
I know I'm not stupid
So what am I doing, doing?
What kind of idiot
Falls for it every time?
[Post-Chorus]
So what kind of idiot am I?
Am I, am I, am I-I
So what kind of idiot am I?
Am I, am I, am I-I
So what kind of idiot am I?


[Verse 2]
What made me think that I be the first one?
Should of been the first one to say goodbye
You broke my heart back there
I let it go back there
Should of venture back when you made me cry
Now that it's over
How will I get over
All this dependency of you and I
I gave you everything
Should've gave you nothing
Damn what of waste of time

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to be caught in the middle
Between the tricks and the games and your riddles
And now I'm starting to see just a little
I'm wondering
[Chorus]
What kind of idiot
Sleeps on this heart of mine? (Heart of mine?)
What kind of idiot
Ain't gonna realize
That I'm worth the time?
I know you not stupid
I know I'm not stupid
So what am I doing, doing?
What kind of idiot
Falls for it every time?

[Post-Chorus]
So what kind of idiot am I?
Am I, am I, am I-I
So what kind of idiot am I?
Am I, am I, am I-I
So what kind of idiot am I?


[Chorus]
What kind of idiot
Sleeps on this heart of mine? (Heart of mine?)
What kind of idiot
Ain't gonna realize
That I'm worth the time?
I know you not stupid
I know I'm not stupid
So what am I doing, doing?
What kind of idiot
Falls for it every time?
(So what kind of idiot am I?)
What kind of idiot
Sleeps on this heart of mine? (Heart of mine?)
What kind of idiot
Ain't gonna realize
That I'm worth the time?
I know you not stupid
I know I'm not stupid

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
