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
