And you thought she would run
run from the altar with sudden inspiration
and you thought well begun was half done
and you thought there would be a gun

And you thought it would matter
matter to some who was good or bad
and you thought it was a passing fad
and you thought you would make them glad

And you thought you could escape
escape this golden but small cage
and tear that one bad ugly page
and thought you would be untouched by age

And you thought they would wait
wait for the time and space to heal
and they would some feeling reveal
and they would consider your sincere appeal

And you thought you could go back
back to the moments which were perfect
and you could call off the wrong bet
and you thought you could just forget

So brace yourself for life my friend
this is where the movies come to an end
this is where there is no chance to amend
so put on a smile and better you pretend
and all your senses in the day suspend
and just try in the unfeeling crowds to blend.
