Someone Else’s Story

Long ago in someone else's lifetime
Someone with my name
Who looked a lot like me came to know
A man and made a promise he only had to say
And that's where she would be lately
Although the feelings run just as deep
The promise she made has
Grown impossible to keep
And yet I wish it wasn't so
Will he miss me if I go?

In a way it's someone else's story
I don't see myself as taking part at all
Yesterday a girl that I was fond of
Finally could see the writing on the wall
Sadly she realized she'd left him behind
And sadder than that she knew
He wouldn't even mind
And though there's nothing left to say
Would he listen if I stay?

It's all very well to say you
Fool it's now or never i could be choosing
No choices whatsoever

I could be in someone else's story
In someone else's life
And he could be in mine i don't see
A reason to be lonely
I could take my chances
Further down the line and if
That girl I knew should ask my advice
Oh I wouldn't hesitate she
Needn't ask me twice go now!
I'd tell her that for free
Trouble is, the girl is me
The story is, the girl is me
