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
