I believe that starry skies Would always be more carefully dazed tonight And would guide us she said That we would fear nothing And now I see the flawless heart Whose only wish is to be right Feels how it's beaten 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 And 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 Have made myself believe I hadn't seen Are what hurt us she said There was no way of knowing I rode a plane to fit the speed Put our love and names up there in lights But the god 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 light would just stay in our hands That just 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
