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
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
And 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
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

There's nothing at all

What seems ... to be
Is always better than nothing
No wise man has the power to reason away

What seems ... to be
Is always better than nothing
