[Verse 1]He came from somewhere back in her long agoThe sentimental fool don't seeTryin' hard to recreateWhat had yet to be created once in her lifeShe musters a smile for his nostalgic taleNever coming near what he wanted to sayOnly to realize it never really was[Pre-Chorus]She had a place in his lifeHe never made her think twiceAs he rises to her apologyAnybody else would surely knowHe's watching her go[Chorus]But what a fool believes, he seesNo wise man has the power to reason awayWhat seems to beIs always better than nothingThan nothing at all[Verse 2]Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long agoWhere he can still believe there's a place in her lifeSomeday, somewhereShe will return[Pre-Chorus]She had a place in his lifeHe never made her think twiceAs he rises to her apologyAnybody else would surely knowHe's watching her go[Chorus]But what a fool believes, he seesNo wise man has the power to reason awayWhat seems to be(If love can come and love can go, then why can't love return once more?)Is always better than nothing(Who got the power?)Than nothing at all (Oh, now)What a fool believes(I believe she's never gone away) he seesNo wise man has the power (To reason away)To reason awayWhat seems to be(Oh, if love can come and love can go, oh, mama)Is always better than nothing (Better than nothing)Than nothing at all (Oh, I believe)
