:::Who are we fooling:::

There is a LARGE handful of you who will know exactly what this title means.

October 12th has passed... Brooke Fraser's album "FLAGS" has come out and oh my word is it good.

I want to focus in on what could possibly be my favorite song of the whole story.

From what I can tell, the 3rd track on the album is about a husband and wife.... and it simply brought me to tears!!!

I want to share the lyrics with you - because they're SO RICH and TRUE and DEEP and RIGHT.

The song itself is a simple melody, but please, especially if you're in a marital relationship that's struggling, do yourself a favor and buy the song off of itunes.

Every song on the album is a gem - but if you're living on a budget, try to spare a buck 29 and just buy this one song. It will tug hard on your heart strings, believe you me.

Here are the lyrics:

Who Are We Fooling?

by Brooke Fraser

"So we're back here again,

Tip toeing round the edge of the end.

Wondering who will be last to admit

That we're finally over...

Turned twenty-one on the day that we met.

Terrible shoes and plausible dress.

It's funny how sad the funny things get as you grow older...

Better or worse

But what else can we do?

And better or worse

I am tethered to you.

If it's not either of us

Tell me who are we fooling?

I love the art of biting my tongue,

I'm tired of trying to guess what was wrong

Both agreed on where we should go,

But not how to get there...

We tried and tried to loosen the knots,

Thinking once we're untangled we'll be better off...

But it's these failures and faults that hold us together.

Better or worse

But what else can we do?

And better or worse

I am tethered to you.

If it's not either of us,

Tell me who are we fooling?

This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue,

It's a beautiful knot that we just can't undo.

Together we're one but apart tell me

Who are we fooling?

Cause real love

Is hard love.

It's all we have!

It's a break-neck,

Train wreck,

It's all we have...

So we're back here again...

Turning away from the edge of the end...

Arm in arm.

Better or worse

But what else can we do?

And better or worse

I am tethered to you.

If it's not either of us

Tell me who are we fooling?

This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue

It's a beautiful knot we just can't undo

If it's not either of us, tell me who are we fooling?

Together we're one, but apart tell me

Who are we fooling?"

Ahhh.

Makes me cry just listening to it :)
