If This Were A Movie - Lucy Woodward

If this were a movie

I’d know what to say

Instead of staring in silence as he slips away

Wit and perfection would fall from my lips

He’d move in my direction like it says in the script

And as I lean in to deliver my last line, the screen fades to black

Why can’t this be the time

The end won’t make me cry

I’d change our final scene

If this were a movie

No running mascara, my hands wouldn’t shake

I wouldn’t have said that, my heart wouldn’t break

He’d meet me in Paris, we’d fly to Madrid

The arc of the story would end with a kiss

When the lights come up I’m alone

And no one’s here to throw me a line

Why can’t this be the time

The end won’t make me cry

I’d change our final scene

If this were a movie

The right girl gets the guy

Nobody says goodbye

There’d be parts two and three

If this were a movie

The right girl gets the guy

Nobody says goodbye

There’d be parts two and three

If this were a movie
