Written In Rock Lyrics - Rick Springfield

On my way back from a wedding 

I drove round some of the old streets 

I got swept up by the memories 

Of cold nights and warm sheets 

I parked outside the house we'd lived in 

I tried to think of all the pain 

But all I remembered was the laughter 

And the precious trust we can't reclaim 

There are no second prizes 

And there will be no consolation wreath 

We may as well miss by a mile 

As miss by the skin of our teeth 

They all thought we were some sure thing 

I had the bloody coat and wedding ring

But nothing's Written In Rock 

I know I'm not the one 

Was I just the great pretender 

Written In Rock 

There was no battle won 

Only a mutual surrender 

No guarantees, that's alright 

If I was gonna stay, 

I would have stayed all night 

Bye bye love, you were so damn right

You finally learned the deep dark secret 

That I knew you were waiting for 

So I watched the death of innocence 

Of the young dreamer at life's door 

This world can tear your soul to pieces 

If you give it half a chance 

There are no rules to remember 

There are no written steps to the dance 

I don't believe in fate 

I don't believe in blind luck of the draw 

I don't believe in love 

I mean I don't believe anymore 

They all thought we were the real thing 

I had the bloody coat and the wedding ring 

But nothing's Written In Rock 

I know I'm not the one 

Was I just the great pretender 

Written In Rock 

There was no battle won 

Only a mutual surrender 

No guarantees, that's alright 

If I was gonna stay, 

I would have stayed all night 

Bye bye love, you were so damn right 

Nothing's Written In Rock 

Nothing's Written In Rock 

I remember you all dewy-eyed and breathless 

Pointing the direction to the great promised land 

I remember me all petrified and restless 

Wondering what you were hiding in the other hand 

Everybody keeps a lonely heart 

And everybody gets that feeling 

Everybody needs another heart 

To give a little bit of healing to a battered soul 

Oh, nothing's Written In Rock... 

Nothing's Written In Rock 

I know I'm not the one 

Was I just the great pretender 

Written In Rock 

There was no battle won 

Only a mutual surrender 

No guarantees, that's alright 

If I was gonna stay, 

I would have stayed all night 

Bye bye love, you were so damn right 

Nothing's Written In Rock 

Nothing's Written In Rock 

Oh, nothing's Written In Rock...
