Just A Story

You're going down the road alone
You find that your strength is gone
If you reach out, they'll bring you home
And you'll be back where you started from
There's no escaping the track you're on

Said no love lasts forever, I won't try to change your mind
Who can blame you if you try to save yourself
They leave you or they're taken by the ravages of time
And love is just a story that we tell
Said love is just a story that we tell

If letting go was proof of royal blood
I'd be ruling the world by now
I hope you know that kind of love
The way that we spoke about
Would've gave you if I'd known how

If I was yours, and you were mine
And nothing was left unsaid
If love's a bird, it's free to fly
Fly on ahead
I love but I can't forget

That no love lasts forever, I won't try to change your mind
Who can blame you if you try to save yourself
They leave you or they're taken by the ravages of time
And love is just a story that we tell
Said love is just a story that we tell

It breaks my heart when you break down
When it comes time for letting go
It's never gone, it's here and it's now
And it's all that you need to know
Close at hand when you need it most
