Written In Rock

On my way back from a wedding



I drove round some of the old streets



I got swept up by the memories



Of cold nights and warm sheets



I parked outside the house we'd lived in



I tried to think of all the pain



But all I remembered was the laughter



And the precious trust we can't reclaim



There are no second prizes



And there will be no consolation wreath



We may as well miss by a mile



As miss by the skin of our teeth



They all thought we were some sure thing



I had the bloody coat and wedding ring



But nothing's Written In Rock



I know I'm not the one



Was I just the great pretender



Written In Rock



There was no battle won



Only a mutual surrender



No guarantees, that's alright



If I was gonna stay,



I would have stayed all night



Bye bye love, you were so damn right



Nothing's Written In Rock



Nothing's Written In Rock



You finally learned the deep dark secret



That I knew you were waiting for



So I watched the death of innocence



Of the young dreamer at life's door



This world can tear your soul to pieces



If you give it half a chance



There are no rules to remember



There are no written steps to the dance



I don't believe in fate



I don't believe in blind luck of the draw



I don't believe in love



I mean I don't believe anymore



They all thought we were the real thing



I had the bloody coat and the wedding ring



But nothing's Written In Rock



I know I'm not the one



Was I just the great pretender



Written In Rock



There was no battle won



Only a mutual surrender



No guarantees, that's alright



If I was gonna stay,



I would have stayed all night



Bye bye love, you were so damn right



Nothing's Written In Rock



Nothing's Written In Rock



I remember you all dewy-eyed and breathless



Pointing the direction to the great promised land



I remember me all petrified and restless



Wondering what you were hiding in the other hand



Everybody keeps a lonely heart



And everybody gets that feeling



Everybody needs another heart



To give a little bit of healing to a battered soul



Oh, nothing's Written In Rock,



Nothing's Written In Rock



I know I'm not the one



Was I just the great pretender



Written In Rock



There was no battle won



Only a mutual surrender



No guarantees, that's alright



If I was gonna stay,



I would have stayed all night



Bye bye love, you were so damn right



Nothing's Written In Rock



Nothing's Written In Rock



Oh, nothing's Written In Rock,
