Max Mutzke What a fool believes Lyrics

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

Bridge:
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
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

(Bridge)

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems (if love can come and love can go...) to be
(...then why can't love return once more?)
Is always better than nothing
(Who's got the power?)
And nothing at all (oh now)
What a fool believes (I believe she's never gone away, hey...) he sees
No wise man has the power (to reason away) to reason away
What seems (oh if love can come, and love can go) to be
(Oh now now)
Always better than nothing (better than nothing)
And nothing at all...
