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
