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 her nostalgic friend
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize it never really was
She, she had a place in his life
And he, he never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
She's walking away
What a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power
Power to reason away
What seems, what seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Oh-oh, nothing at all
Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, that he will return
She, she had a place in his life
(Had a place in his life)
And he never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
(Would surely know)
She's walking away
(What a fool believes)
But what a fool believes
(Be believes what he sees) he sees (he sees a chance)
No wise man has the power, power to reason away, reason away
