No More Pain
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 realized
It never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As she 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

when we're round at a friend's house
you act so precious and cool
tell her I'm nothin' special at all
just somebody who's passin' through
just sombody who's passin' through
and here I am tryin' to tell you again
but you just don't understand
that we could be somethin' special I know
if you'd only let go -- take a chance
just try it once -- take a chance
but we're only -- we're only foolin'
you know that we are -- we're only foolin'
tell me what are you gonna do
about a fool who's in love with you
what are you gonna do
when we go out on a saturday night
feel like I'm stringin' along
I ask you where are we going from here
you know but you're not lettin' on babe
well you know but you're not lettin' on
so here we are at the crossroads
between better or worse
you tellin' me I'm too serious babe
and one of use is gonna get hurt
why do I always get hurt
but we're only -- we're only foolin'
you know that we are -- we're only foolin'
tell me what are you gonna do
about a fool who's in love with you
what are you gonna do
