That's How Our Story Ends
Music and words Frank Lamphere
Now, if you didn't think,
That it was worth one more try
You should have sat me down, woman
Looked me in the eye
Been straight and told me
That the love was gone,
And that, you were gonna' fly
It was three long weeks,
Before you returned
With no regrets,
From what I discerned
I've had time to think this through,
My options were few
It’s over, this bridge has been burned
Now, you promised me,
There’d be no one else
Life to you is one big cliché
Was it so bad?
All our time, just a waste?
Why'd you throw it all away?
I'm so let down and trying
to comprehend
Why you left,
But now to you, I recommend
Go on your casual way,
I'll be okay
And That's How Our Story Ends
I should have seen
The writing on the wall
Not believed the lies I was fed
All those late night calls,
Long “business” trips
Just like my friends had always said
You broke all the rules
and you can't defend
Your wanton ways,
Let’s not pretend!
Just head back out that door,
Any tears I'll ignore
That's How Our Story Ends
