Testi
[Verse 1]
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Trying 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
Than nothing at all
[Verse 4]
Keeps 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
Than nothing at all
[Verse 7]
What a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all
