What a Fool Believes

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

He 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 watches her go

But what a fool believes

He sees

No wise man has the power

To reason away

What seems to be

It's always better than nothing

Than nothing at all

Keep sending him

Hey, ooh

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

Ooh

He never made her think twice

As he rises to her apology

Anybody else would surely know

He watches her go

But what a fool believes

He sees

No wise man has the power

To reason away

What seems to be

It's always better than nothing

Than nothing at all

But what a fool believes

He sees

No wise man has the power

To reason away

What seems to be

It's always better than nothing

Than nothing at all
