story for the ages - missy higgins lyrics

[verse 1]
it was never meant to be like this
it was never meant to be like this
you were never meant to leave and i was never meant to cry
clutching my heart, scratching at my eyes
it was never meant to be like this
i thought that our story was written, i knew it by heart
the parallel arrows together escaping the dark
that was you, that was me
that was our story arc

[chorus]
i don’t know why i thought
it couldn’t happen to me
i don’t know why i thought there’d be pages more to read
but the book went up in flames
and i got blisters on my cheeks

[verse 2]
it was never meant to be like this
we were gonna last, i’d already inked you under my skin
like the deeper the needle, the longer you were locked in
it was never meant to be like this
so how do i do it, how do i un*see it all?
the future was painted, i’d hammered it into my wall
it was never meant to fall
[chorus]
i don’t know why i thought
it couldn’t happen to me
i don’t know why i thought there’d be more pages to read
but the book went up in flames
i got blisters on my cheeks
guess our story for the ages
had a twist i couldn’t see

[post*chorus]
(ah*oh, oh*ah)
(ah*oh, oh*ah)
(ah*oh, oh*ah)
(ah*oh, oh*ah)

[outro]
all the chairs are on the tables
and they’re asking me to leave
i would stand if i were able
but i simply can’t believe
that our story for the ages
is now ashes at my feet
(ah*oh, oh*ah)
(ah*oh, oh*ah)
(ah*oh, oh*ah)
(ah*oh, oh*ah)
