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
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
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
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
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
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
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
