Rick Springfield - Written In Rock Lyrics
On my way back from a weddingI drove round some of the old streetsI got swept up by the memoriesOf cold nights and warm sheetsI parked outside the house wed lived inI tried to think of all the painBut all I remembered was the laughterAnd the precious trust we cant reclaimThere are no second prizesAnd there will be no consolation wreathWe may as well miss by a mileAs miss by the skin of our teethThey all thought we were some sure thingI had the bloody coat and wedding ringBut nothings written in rockI know Im not the oneWas I just the great pretenderWritten in rockThere was no battle wonOnly a mutual surrenderNo guarantees, thats alrightIf I was gonna stay,I would have stayed all nightBye bye love, you were so damn rightNothings written in rockNothings written in rockYou finally learned the deep dark secretThat I knew you were waiting forSo I watched the death of innocenceOf the young dreamer at lifes doorThis world can tear your soul to piecesIf you give it half a chanceThere are no rules to rememberThere are no written steps to the danceI dont believe in fateI dont believe in blind luck of the drawI dont believe in loveI mean I dont believe anymoreThey all thought we were the real thingI had the bloody coat and the wedding ringBut nothings written in rockI know Im not the oneWas I just the great pretenderWritten in rockThere was no battle wonOnly a mutual surrenderNo guarantees, thats alrightIf I was gonna stay,I would have stayed all nightBye bye love, you were so damn rightNothings written in rockNothings written in rockI remember you all dewy-eyed and breathlessPointing the direction to the great promised landI remember me all petrified and restlessWondering what you were hiding in the other handEverybody keeps a lonely heartAnd everybody gets that feelingEverybody needs another heartTo give a little bit of healing to a battered soulOh, nothings written in rockNothings written in rockI know Im not the oneWas I just the great pretenderWritten in rockThere was no battle wonOnly a mutual surrenderNo guarantees, thats alrightIf I was gonna stay,I would have stayed all nightBye bye love, you were so damn rightNothings written in rockNothings written in rockOh, nothings written in rock
