[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
Than 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, somehow
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]
But what a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be (Love can't go, love can't go, why can't love go!)
Is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all (Fool's got the power, baby, fool's got the power, I know I should've gone away)

Believes, he sees (Love can't go, love can't go, why can't love go!)
No wise man has the power to reason away (Fool's got the power, baby, fool's got the power)
What seems to be (Love can't go, love can't go, why can't love go!)
Is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all (I knew I should've gone away)
Believes, he sees (Love can't go, love can't go, why can't love go!)
No wise man has the power to reason away (Fool's got the power, baby, fool's got the power)
What seems to be (Love can't go, love can't go, why can't love go!)
Is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all
