What a Fool Believes

She came from somewhere back

In his long ago

(Sentimental fools don't see)

Tryin' hard to recreate

What had yet to be created

Once in her

She musters a smile

For a nostalgic tale

Never comin' 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

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

(Somehow, someday)

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

What a fool believes

He sees

No wise man has the power

To reason away

What seems

What a fool believes

He sees

No wise man has the power

To reason away

What seems

What a fool believes
