Joe Murphy Poet Ballad

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
