What a Fool Believes

He came from somewhere
Back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created

Once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near
What he wanted to say
Only to realize

It never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing?
And nothing at all

Keep sending him
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe
There's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere
She will return

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing?
And nothing at all

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing?
And nothing at all
