Standing outside everything's alright

A smile on your face, her world shines tonight

Everyone he knows have lives that never grow

Feelings far from true left alone with a fairytale of you 

She's not real, words aren't true

Still gains a better part of you



Open up your book

To see your page, to see your world

It's all gone blank

And everyone you seek to find

You learn to lose

She's left behind



She's not real, words aren't true

Still gains a better part of you



She said it was over

Still he left his complaint

That left him at zero, a forgotten hero

As he walks from the game

Hands down and pride first

She starts to slip and there's a long way down



When you're along and there's no place to be found

Yet still everyone is there for you

The feeling's lost, the feeling's untrue

We all move on, the game goes on
