[Verse 1]
Like everyone around
He claimed to see
He was beautiful but not like me
He saw everything, everyone
All around me
Still he stood up really tall
And he looked down below
He saw many people, many things
He'd never seen before

[Chorus]
But he was just a fool and that’s all he'd ever be
Just a fool, that’s all he'd ever be

[Bridge]
There were two of us and two of them
And two of you and two of me up inside that tree
And we were trying hard, trying hard to see

[Chorus]
But he was just a fool and that’s all he'd ever be
Just a fool, that’s all he'd ever be
And there's nothing beautiful in me

[Verse 2]
We were shaken from the branch
Fallen from the tree
And we're not quite sure just what we had seen
So we climbed up really high
And we tried hard to see
And there were many people many things
That looked just like you and me
[Chorus]
But he was just a fool and that’s all he'd ever be
Just a fool, that’s all he'd ever be
And there's nothing beautiful in me

And everyone around knows he's the fool
He was just a fool and that’s all he'd ever be
Just a fool, that’s all he'd ever be
Still there's nothing beautiful in me
