[Verse 1]
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 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]
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

[Verse 2]
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where she 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

[Outro]
But what a fool believes, he sees
This wise man has the power to reason away
Loves can come, and loves can go, and (What seems to be)
Why can't love turn them around
Who's got the power?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Loves can come, and loves can go, and
Why can't love turn them around
