What a Fool Believes

She came from somewhere back

Years long ago

Sentimental fools don't see

Tryin' 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 she wanted to say

Only to realize it never really was

She had a place in his life

He never made her think twice

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

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

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

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

Nothing at all
