Someday, this will all make sense

For now, I am torn in two

Not even time will recompense

Everything I gave for you

I was barely even hanging on

I was hardly my whole self

But you are so damn beautiful

You made me feel like no one else

But, it's easy to be made half blind

When the sun is always in your eyes

So easy to get caught behind

I was clearly mesmerized

And, it kills to see the other side

Of a dream that never will come true

But, we were never meant to hide

And this is likely overdue

'Cause this is not a movie, darling

And they could never know about us

And you don't really know me, darling

And they could never know about us

I don't want to say goodbye, my lover

But they could never know about us

And I'm terrified I'll blow my cover

They could never know about us, 'bout us, 'bout us, 'bout us, 'bout us

I won't even cry the way I should

I'll just bite my lip, I won't break down

You don't want to try the way you could

Now, I'm just a stranger in your town

You can't give the kind of love I want

I can't be the kind of girl you need

And so now we reach the denouement

And forever now my heart will bleed

'Cause this is not a movie, darling

And they could never know about us

(Know about us)

Oh, this is not a movie, darling

They could never know about us

(Know about us)

Yeah, this is not a movie, darling

They never know about us

(Know about us)

And you don't really know me, darling

And they could never know about us

(Know about us)
