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 I knew that fool was gonna fall again.

Oh, but the fool he's been ain't nothin' like the fool I'd be
To keep believe in dreams that don't come true they'll never do
'Cause you know it never was too far from love to make believe
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.

Oh, but the fool we've been ain't nothin' like the fool I'd be
To keep believe in dreams that don't come true they'll never do
'Cause you know it never was too far from love to make believe
I'll be leavin' if it's all the same to you.

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