He's watching her go
As he rises to her apology
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What had yet to be created once in her life
As he rises to her apology
Somewhere back in her long ago
He never made her think twice
Never coming near what he wanted to say
No wise man has the power to reason away
He never made her think twice
What seems to be is always better than nothing
She had a place in his life
What seems to be is always better than nothing
Someday, somewhere, she will return
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Anybody else would surely know
She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
He's watching her go
She had a place in his life
Only to realize it never really was
But what a fool believes he sees
Anybody else would surely know
And nothing at all keeps sending him
