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…
