What a Fool Believes

[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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

What a fool believes, he sees

No wise man has the power to reason away

What seems to be is always better than nothing

There's nothing at all

What a fool believes, he sees (if love can come, love can go, why can't love?)

No wise man has the power to reason away

(Who got the minds of their own)

What seems to be is always better than nothing (if love can kill, love can mend, why can't I seem to get better than nothing?)

(Who got the minds of their own)

Than nothing at all
