Not the Chosen One

She said we really should not meet There are others to consider But as she walked away her stiletto heels Tapped call us we deliver. And babe you ain't no angel And I ain't the chosen one Was it fate that brought us together Or were we simply having fun We started out as innocents some harmless post work antics but quickly hit that slippery slope That redefined semantics And babe you ain't no angel And I ain't the chosen one Was it really that much better Or were we simply having fun She said she had a life at home Like you read in a magazine But to her it always somehow always felt Like the same old dull routine And babe you ain't no angel And I ain't the chosen one Was it really that much better Or were we simply having fun She said our time together Made her feel she really mattered But every night on the train ride home That dream was sadly shattered She said we can no longer meet And live the lie created The balance between what she gained and lost Was so much more than anticipated And babe I ain't no angel And you ain't the chosen one The dream we blindly followed Was not worth the distance run
