The day we said goodbye I remember you had flowers in your hair

Dressed all in white and posing with that same rebellious stare

I watched you walk away, I never thought that life could be fair

Not for us

When the only thing that we could do was play our part, pretend we didn't care

Sometimes I hear your name in passing like an old familiar friend

I close my eyes at night and try to will my soul to comprehend

She has your eyes they say, the only part of him you will defend

And in the end

The heart can heal enough to let love in, though the rest will never mend

Maybe you think of me now and then, like a once forgotten song

Write your own ending in, and pretend this whole charade could fall

A chance to make a different choice, as if we ever had a choice at all

Maybe you think of me now and then, like a once forgotten song

Write your own ending in, and pretend this whole charade could fall

A chance to make a different choice, as if we ever had a choice at all

I wonder if we are together somewhere in another life

Another universe where love is given free, without a fight

Where we're laughing and we're walking hand-in-hand into the light

And it's all right

Because we'll still have tomorrow when we lie beside each other every night

Maybe you think of me now and then, like a once forgotten song

Write your own ending in, and pretend this whole charade could fall

A chance to make a different choice, as if we ever had a choice at all
