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
Althought 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 know 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
