  • Life's not a movie, I'm not a movie star
    It's still new to me, not knowing where you are
    I run and run a lonely road
    It's at the end where I was told

    It's hard to understand
    It's harder to let go
    I'm missing all my plans
    But you wouldn't know

    If I could wish for anything
    It would all come back around
    'Cause if all you were, were next to me
    I'd live without a frown

    I saw your face while I was out
    I turned around and looked away
    I didn't know what I would say
    I'd fumble all over my words
    You hate me now, but I loved you first
    I love you more than you will know
    For that reason, I let you go
    'Cause I'm not the one you dream about

    I saw your face while I was out
    I turned around and looked away
    I didn't know what I would say
    I'd fumble all over my words
    You hate me now, but I loved you first
    I love you more than you will know
    For that reason, I let you go
    So just go with it
    You're going, you're going

    If I could wish for anything
    It would all come back around
    'Cause if all you were, were next to me
    I'd live without a frown

    I saw your face while I was out
    I turned around and looked away
    I didn't know what I would say
    I'd fumble all over my words
    You hate me now, but I loved you first
    I love you more than you will know
    For that reason, I let you go
    So just go with it
    You're going, you're going

    Ooh
