[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
