Someone Else's Story

Someone Else's Story - Chess In Concert

Long ago in someone else's lifetime

Someone with my name who looked a lot like me

Came to know a girl and made a promise

She 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 she 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 boy that I grew up with

Finally could see the writing on the wall

Sadly he realized he'd left him behind

And sadder than that he knew she wouldn't even mind

And though there's nothing left to say

Would she listen if I stay

It's all very well to say a You fool it's now or nevera

I could be choosing no choices

I could be in someone else's story

Someone else's life and she could be in mine

I don't see a reason to be lonely

I should take my chances further down the line

And if that boy I knew should ask my advice

Oh I wouldn't hesitate he needn't ask me twice

A Go nowa I'd tell her that for free

The problem is that the boy is me

The story is the boy is me
