(Intro-Morgan Freeman in Shawshank Redemption)
I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged...Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend...
Chorus - Lanza Attisha
We fell in love as children and we never told a soul
Took my heart to paradise as if it was your own
Thought we'd last forever but I had to move along
And baby we're the greatest story that was never told
And we're the greatest story, that was never told
I was the silver lining, to your heart of gold
Verse 1
Took you by the hand and I promised you the world
I was your Prince Charming and you were my baby girl
I knew you were the only one from the very start
Forever bound together by the love in our hearts
BoysLikeGirls, first song called Thunder
Your pretty voice was the soundtrack of my summer
We took a cla** together, doesn't even seem real
Only focused on each other, in the end we both failed
We used to pray together to the man up above
I wrote my first song for you, 'Don't Forget My Love'
I was best friends with your mom, dad, and brother
We never went to different schools, you never found another
The greatest story never told, time to flip the page
You never broke my heart, and you never got engaged
Your love was unconditional, forever staying strong
I never shed a tear, never wrote a sad song
Chorus - Lanza Attisha
We fell in love as children and we never told a soul
Took my heart to paradise as if it was your own
Thought we'd last forever but I had to move along
And baby we're the greatest story that was never told
Never thought you'd ever be the one that got away
Used to tell each other that our love would never fade
Flipping through the book landing on an empty page
And baby, we're the greatest story that was never made
And we're the Greatest Story That Was Never Told
I was the silver lining to your heart of gold
Greatest story that was never told
I was the silver lining to your heart of gold
Verse 2
Graduated law school age of 25
I pa**ed the bar and everything on my first try
No time to waste when you're living in a dream
Spent all of my money and I bought a shiny ring
Everybody showed up, invited both families
Sparkle in your eyes when I got on one knee
I promised you the world so we booked our honeymoon
Paris, Greece, Barcelona, even Rome too
Recorded 8 tapes, and I never got a deal
But tell me what is fame when the love is so real
Seal every day with a goodnight kiss
Couple years later and we have a couple kids
Good news so it's time to make a toast
My mom went to the doctor and was never diagnosed
The greatest story never told time to end the chapter
Chaos and his Queen, happily ever after
Chorus - Lanza Attisha
We fell in love as children and we never told a soul
Took my heart to paradise as if it was your own
Thought we'd last forever but I had to move along
And baby we're the greatest story that was never told
And we're the greatest story, that was never told
I was the silver lining, to your heart of gold
Greatest story that was never told
I was the silver lining to your heart of gold!
Verse 3
Reminisce when we met, when our hairs weren't grey
And you've only gotten prettier since that day
Wrinkles on my face, walking with a bad knee
Looking at each other like we're still 17
Lazy afternoon, looking at some photographs
You point at what I used to wear and then we both laugh
I'm looking for the picture of us on our wedding day
Never, had, to admit you're the one that got away
Never had to keep the pain bottled up inside
Never had to tell my little brother men do cry
You never said "Evonte, babe it's time to move along"
I never had to write balloon, I hate that song!
The greatest story never told time to end the book
This was supposed to be the way that it was supposed to look
I said the greatest story never told, time to end the book
This was supposed to be the way that it was supposed to look
