lyrics
I believed that starry skies
Would always dim our carefree days to night
And would guide us she said
That we would fear nothing
But now I see the flawless heart
Whose only wish is to be right
Feels how it's beating for nothing
She told him everything got out of hand
And she lost touch with moments
They had planned
Tried to make herself believe
She'd never cared
But none of this is written there in stone... she said
It's based on a thousand true stories
I can see that all the signs
I made myself believe I hadn't seen
Are what hurt us he said
There was no way of knowing
I wrote a play to fit the screen
Put our love and names up there in lights -
But the gap went on growing
He told her everything just fell apart
So he had done his best to
Fool his heart
Tried to make himself believe
He was alive
And none of this has come from me alone... he said
It's based on a thousand true stories
We hoped that life would just stay in our hands
That doubts would disappear
And we would find
Our way back to the love
that we had left behind
And none of this can happen on its own... he said
It's based on a thousand true stories
