"What a Fool Believes", written by Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald
“
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.
— Kenny Loggins

No wise man has the power
To reason away.

And nothing at all.
