[verse 1
It could not have been scripted better
At the time when I thought it was love
But this story went not as I'd hoped
'Cause no good tale is ever as it seems
And that's not to say that I liked what was told
A story scripted in my most feared dreams
But without the twists it just wouldn't be life
And now this broken heart was just a memorable scene
[pre-chorus
Too much the fool to make it clear
But I don't think you're blind
I have this pain to live with forever
I pray one day you don't find...
[chorus
I hope you don't look back some day
And wish there could have been some way
Some way to give us a chance
'Cause I was always in your hands
I just hope you don't look back
And see me then as I see you now
'Cause though I'll probably still be waiting
I'll remember here and now
[verse 2
Into a role for which I never auditioned
I liked the part till it broke my heart
Another clown I'd not counted on
Turned my leading role into a passer-by
I always wished the fairytale end
It hasn't come, did it pass me by
I'm not even sure the cameras are on
A potential excuse why I dared not try
[pre-chorus
Too much the fool to make it clear
But I don't think you're blind
I have this pain to live with forever
I pray one day you don't find...
[chorus
I hope you don't look back some day
And wish there could have been some way
Some way to give us a chance
'Cause I was always in your hands
I just hope you don't look back
And see me then as I see you now
'Cause though I'll probably still be waiting
I'll remember here and now

[pre-chorus
Too much the fool to make it clear
But I don't think you're blind
I have this pain to live with forever
I pray one day you don't find...
[chorus
I hope you don't look back some day (some day)
And wish there could have been some way (some way)
Some way to give us a chance
'Cause I was always in your hands
I just hope you don't look back (you don't look back)
And see me then as I see you now (see you now)
'Cause though I'll probably still be waiting
I'll remember here and now
Here and now
