lyrics

A wiser man than I could have looked into your eyes
and seen that you had better things to do.
But, love obscured the view, to me you were not true,
and, now there is no wiser man than I.

When we were young and free,
you made a vow to me that love would
grow as years went passing by.
And, now it's clear to me,
and I can finally see,
that this dream can never, ever be.

A wiser man than I could have looked into your eyes
and seen that you had better things to do.
But, love obscured the view, to me you were not true,
and, now there is no wiser man than I.

I was feeling oh so alone,
I called you on the phone,
hoping we could be together again.
To let love bloom anew, and let old wounds
heal too, to talk it through and get rid of the pain.

A wiser man than I could have looked into your eyes
and seen that you had better things to do.
But, love obscured the view, to me you were not true,
and, now there is no wiser man than I.

Your mother answered the phone,
she told me you were gone,
out on the town with my best friend, Jim.
And now that I know you, you'll never ever be true,
the lies you told to me, you'll tell to him.

A wiser man than I could have looked into your eyes
and seen that you had better things to do.
But, love obscured the view, to me you were not true,
and, now there is no wiser man than I.
