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

Yes, I'll be leavin', 'cause it's all the same to you
