Lucy Woodward - If This Were A Movie lyrics

[Verse 1] If this were a movie I'd know what to say Instead of staring in silence as he slips away Wit and perfection would fall from my lips He'd move in my direction like it says in the script And as I lean in to deliver my last line, the screen fades to black [Chorus] Why can't this be the time The end won't make me cry I'd change our final scene If this were a movie [Verse 2] No running mascara, my hands wouldn't shake I wouldn't have said that, my heart wouldn't break He'd meet me in Paris, we'd fly to Madrid The arc of the story would end with a kiss When the lights come up I'm alone And no one's here to throw me a line [Chorus] Why can't this be the time The end won't make me cry I'd change our final scene If this were a movie [Outro: Chorus Variation] The right girl gets the guy Nobody says goodbye There'd be parts two and three If this were a movie The right girl gets the guy Nobody says goodbye There'd be parts two and three If this were a movie
