I listened to a friend who'd do the same for me last night
'cause it takes one to really understand
And I watched him try to walk the line
Between what's wrong and right
And knew that fool was gonna fall again

Chorus:
Ah, but the fool I've been ain't nothing like the fool I'd be
To keep believin' dreams that don't come true
Because, you know, it never was too far from love to make believe
And I'll be leavin', if it's all the same to you

It's hard to lead a friend in need of somethin' hard to face
'cause simple truth ain't simple when it's sad
And misery loves company, but, lord, it's such a waste
To go on throwin' good love after bad

Chorus:
Ah, but the fools we've been ain't nothin' like the fools we'd be
To keep believin' dreams that don't come true
Because, you know, it never was to far from love to make believe
And I'll be leavin', if it's all the same to you
Tag:
Yes, I'll be leavin', 'cause it's all the same to you
