Silje Nergaard - Based on a thousand true stories lyrics

I believe that starry skies Would always dim our carefree days to night And would guide us she said That we would fear nothing And now I see the flawless heart Whose only wish is to be right Feels how it's beaten for nothing She told him everything got out of hand And she lost touch with moments they had planned Tried to make herself believe she'd never cared And none of this is written there in stone She said it's based on a thousand true stories I can see that all the signs I made myself believe I hadn't seen Are what hurt us she said There was no way of knowing I wrote a play to fit the screen Put our love and names up there in lights But the gap went on growing He told her everything just fell apart So he had done his best to fool his heart Tried to make himself believe he was alive And none of this has come from me alone, he said It's based on a thousand true stories We hoped that light would just stay in our hands That doubts would disappear and we would find Our way back to the love that we had left behind And none of this can happen on its own, they said It's based on a thousand true stories
