Eric Makes Music

the simple foolishness of ignorance
written & produced by Eric Campbell

key - G Major; 67 bpm

verse 1

If I ever made you cry I’m truly sorry
Sometimes tears are something I don’t understand
And it wasn’t till the time
I saw them filling up your eyes.
That I realized I’d hurt my closest friend

I’m not really sure just what you were expecting
But I think it might be more than I can give
All those words you never say
I think I hear them anyway
But its a language I don’t really understand

chorus
They say love overcomes a multitude of sins (flaws, offenses)
So I hope that you can forgive me once again

For the cluelessness of men
for the lack of common sense
And for the simple foolishness of ignorance

verse 2

Didn’t we silently agree to keep our friendship
and never ever speak about this chemistry we feel
And now I’m really not sure
when you decided you wanted more
but now we’ve got this awkwardness between us
that refuses to yield

chorus
(repeat 2nd half)

bridge
And maybe it’s true, these friendships never work
And maybe it’s true, someday someone will be hurt
And if I knew this all back then
Would I still let us begin along this road
I don’t know

But they say (chorus)
