[Verse]
I saw her standing there in the light
Her beautiful eyes staring at me
It's hard to believe that the moment is real
But that's the way the story goes

[Verse 2]
She took my hand and led me away
We flew off in the night
And in her arms, I started to fall
But that's the way the story goes

[Chorus]
That's the way the story goes
The one we all know
About the girl with beauty untold
That's the way the story goes

[Bridge]
I couldn't see what was in front of me
I thought it was love, but it was a dream
And the darkness that dwells within her soul
Is why this is how the story goes

[Chorus]
That's the way the story goes
The one we all know
About the girl with beauty untold
That's the way the story goes

[Verse]
She leaves behind a heart that's broken in two
For every man she knew
But she will never be alone
And that's the way the story goes
