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
