On my way back from a wedding   I drove round some of the old streets   I got swept up by the memories   Of cold nights and warm sheets   I parked outside the house we'd lived in   I tried to think of all the pain   But all I remembered was the laughter   And the precious trust we can't reclaim      There are no second prizes   And there will be no consolation wreath   We may as well miss by a mile   As miss by the skin of our teeth   They all thought we were some sure thing   I had the bloody coat and wedding ring      But nothing's Written In Rock   I know I'm not the one   Was I just the great pretender   Written In Rock   There was no battle won   Only a mutual surrender   No guarantees, that's alright   If I was gonna stay,   I would have stayed all night   Bye bye love, you were so damn right   Nothing's Written In Rock   Nothing's Written In Rock      You finally learned the deep dark secret   That I knew you were waiting for   So I watched the death of innocence   Of the young dreamer at life's door   This world can tear your soul to pieces   If you give it half a chance   There are no rules to remember   There are no written steps to the dance      I don't believe in fate   I don't believe in blind luck of the draw   I don't believe in love   I mean I don't believe anymore   They all thought we were the real thing   I had the bloody coat and the wedding ring      But nothing's Written In Rock   I know I'm not the one   Was I just the great pretender   Written In Rock   There was no battle won   Only a mutual surrender   No guarantees, that's alright   If I was gonna stay,   I would have stayed all night   Bye bye love, you were so damn right   Nothing's Written In Rock   Nothing's Written In Rock      I remember you all dewy-eyed and breathless   Pointing the direction to the great promised land   I remember me all petrified and restless   Wondering what you were hiding in the other hand      Everybody keeps a lonely heart   And everybody gets that feeling   Everybody needs another heart   To give a little bit of healing to a battered soul      Oh, nothing's Written In Rock…      Nothing's Written In Rock   I know I'm not the one   Was I just the great pretender   Written In Rock   There was no battle won   Only a mutual surrender   No guarantees, that's alright   If I was gonna stay,   I would have stayed all night   Bye bye love, you were so damn right   Nothing's Written In Rock   Nothing's Written In Rock
