What a Fool Believes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He 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 their lives She musters a smile For a nostalgic tale Never comin' 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] 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 [Verse 2] Is sending him somewhere back in his long ago (Right back there alone) Where he can still believe There's a place in his life (Somehow, someday) She will return [Pre-Chorus] She had a place in his life (He) 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 (I know she's never going away) He sees No wise man has the power (Ain't nobody got it) To reason away What seems (Nobody's gonna tell him, I bet) To be (They're always watching me) Always better than nothing Nothing at all [Outro] He's making a fool believe (You're a fool, you're such a fool) He sees No wise man has the power To reason away (Nobody got it) What seems (I know one day she's going away) To be (I know one day she's going back, she's going back) (Nobody can take that, forever a fool) Believes (You're a fool, you're such a fool) He sees (You don't believe no wise man has the power)
