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
