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 her nostalgic friend
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize it never really was

She, she had a place in his life
And he, he never madе her think twice
As he risеs to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
She's walking away
What a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power
Power to reason away
What seems, what seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Oh-oh, 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, that he will return

She, she had a place in his life
(Had a place in his life)
And he never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
(Would surely know)
She's walking away
(What a fool believes)
But what a fool believes
(Be believes what he sees) he sees (he sees a chance)
No wise man has the power, power to reason away, reason away
