Our Story's Already Been Told

William Beckett

All night lying in bed
I'm not asleep but I'm dreaming
Those days locked in my head
I can't close my eyes without seeing

What we could possibly be
If I walk away then I'm leaving half a life
Tearing out the pages it took so long to write
... We both know how it goes

Well, I'd change it if I could
But our story's already been told

One cold dark afternoon
You stood there in the doorway
A conversation ensued that we knew would happen eventually

Now that chapter is closed
I just keep reading and feeling half a life
Tearing out the pages it took so long to write
We both know how it goes

Well I'd change it if I could
But our story's already been told

Our story's already been told

Here I am
Pouring over details
Here I am pouring over every word
I wanted you to say

Still trying to find a way
To get closer, to the words I've never heard

Ohh, ohh

All night lying in bed
I'm not asleep but I'm dreaming
Those days locked in my head
If I walk away than I'm leaving half a life

Tearing out the pages it took so long to write
We both know how it goes
I'd change it if I could
But our story's already been told
Our story's already been told
Our story's already been told
