Every story has a broken heart
It's not what you said that happened
Because you'll only remember a few words
Probably the last two
Goodbye Forever Don't Go
The rest stays waiting for your next failure

Every story has an ending
The lucky ones don't know theirs yet
They keep failure next to a bible
Or maybe just a knowledge of life
They're strong enough to know a good thing
And they knew it when they met

Every story has already been told
But that's not really true
Nobody saw it like you because it's real to you
It's important enough to tell somebody
If you can get them to listen
If you can then it all really happened to you

Ever story is about loving somebody
Sometimes it takes a woman to make a man
She has to decide if he's worth the time
Loyalty won't let her ask that question
But your mistakes will one day
Then you'll have your own story to tell

Ever story tells itself to a friend
But a stranger is a chance for a new life
It's better though to talk after thirty years
To be able to look back and think about before
The things we said really did matter
It's true because we love each other as friends
