Sometimes what could have been and what could be are the same. But, someone has to risk it.
Lyrics
She'll never know how she ended up this way.
The 9 to 5 just gets her through the day.
And underneath the loveless moon when the night time comes around too soon
Why did she ever let him get away?
Get away
A hundred miles away he sits alone
He's got the TV on and he feels fine
Alone and quiet in his room when the night time comes around too soon
If he's not careful he'll break down and cry
It hurts deep inside
Just a phone call or a letter would make her feel much better
Then at least she'd know that he still cared
But the postman hasn't been her friend and the telephone won't ring again
So she thinks that's just the way the story ends
Some nights she'd like to just take off and fly
Leave her troubled world behind and find her solace in the sky
But when she opens up the night floods in
So close the window pull the shades she thinks this must be how the story ends
How the story ends
He never knew that letting go would be so hard
At night she comes to him in dreams
He wakes up in his brain and screams "I love you"
"I love you"
Just a phone call or a letter would make him feel much better
Then at least she'd know that he still cared
But he could not take the loss again the rejection left him less a man
So he thinks that's just the way the story ends
She'll never know why she ended up this way.
The 9 to 5 just gets her through the day.
And underneath the loveless moon when the night time comes around too soon
Why did she ever let him get away?
Just a phone call or a letter would make her feel much better
Then at least she'd know that he still cared
But he could not take the loss again the rejection left him less a man
So he thinks that's just the way the story ends
And it seems that's just the way the story ends
