SOMEONE
ELSE’S STORY
FLORENCE.
Long ago
In someone else's lifetime
Someone with my name
Came to know
A man and made a promise
He only had to say
And that's where she would be
Lately although 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
The 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 knew
Should ask take 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.
