Rick Springfield - Written In Rock lyrics

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 d**h 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 Oh, nothing's written in rock
