He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Trying hard to recreate what was 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
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
What a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason
away
What seems to be is always better than nothing, than nothing at all
Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Some day, 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
What a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason
away
What seems to be is always better than nothing, than nothing at all
