If This Was a Movie (feat. Rosalie Craig)

IF THIS WAS A MOVIE

If this was a movie,

I'd know how this goes.

Holding hands, as we are

For hours, watching a star

As it shoots through the sky.

Wishing that this was a movie

Where nothing goes wrong.

Boy meets girl just by chance

And knows from one single glance

It's love that no one else can break

But this isn't a movie

Don't make that mistake

If this was a movie,

We would both run away

To somewhere no one can find us.

Leave our old lives behind us

And never look back.

Hoping that this was a movie,

One moment in time.

We'd live our own happy ending.

No more need for pretending,

But no—

It's best to never know,

That if this was a movie,

How far it would go.

So cut to the end,

Roll up the credits,

And turn off the screen,

Let the audience leave.

Despite how we feel,

We must stick to what's real

And what's true.

I'll never forget you

And my love hasn't gone,

But you should move on.

We must move on.

I have to move on.

If this was a movie,

We'd stay as we are.

But these moments we're stealing,

All this love that we're feeling ends

We can't be, you and I…

But if this was a movie...

I wish this was a movie...

This was never a movie...

So, goodbye.
