Sitting there alongside your man
Was that when you started making your plans?
Hoping you find someone like an actor in a movie
Wouldn’t that have made your life so groovy?

Yearning for a fantasy in a movie script
Just to escape from your personal crypt
Leaving behind that decent but boring guy
Like when you turned your back on you and I,

Changing partners won’t change who you are
Won’t transform a liar into a shooting star
Watch out for memories causing emotional scars
You’ll just party and dance at the local bar,

Life is too short for sentimental memories
Might make you reflect on you and me
Move on people there’s nothing here to see
Just the death of a marriage that set you free,

That’s all you ever wanted to be
Just a ship adrift on an uncharted sea
It was all about you and that’s the key
Whatever it takes so you’ll be happy,

And me with my exceptional recall
Don’t know how I managed it at all
Back when I had hope before the fall
Seems my ship is headed for a squall.
