Someone Else's Story Lyrics

Svetlana:
Long ago,
In someone else's lifetime--
Someone with my name
Who looked a lot like me,
Came to know a man,
And made a promise:
He only had to say
And that's where she would be.

Lately although her feelings
Run just as deep,
The promise she made
Has grown impossible to keep,
And yet I wish it wasn't so.
Will he miss me if I go?

In a way it's someone else's story
I don't see myself
As taking part at all.
Yesterday the girl
That I was fond of
Finally could see
The writing on the wall.

Sadly she realizedChess - Someone Else's Story - http://motolyrics.com/chess/someone-elses-story-lyrics.html
She'd left him behind,
And sadder than that
She knew he wouldn't even mind.
And though there's nothing left to say--
Would he listen if I stay?

It's all very well to say
You fool it's now or never--
I could be choosing
No choices whatsoever.

I could be in someone else's story
In someone else's life,
And he could be in mine.
I don't see a reason to be lonely.
I should take my chances
Further down the line.
And if that girl I knew
Should ask my advice,
Oh, I wouldn't hesitate--
She needn't ask me twice.
"Go now!"
I'd tell her that for free.
Trouble is the girl is me--
The story is the girl is me.
