(Verse)
We all get to write our own life story
We can tell it any way we choose
We can make everything turn out the way we wanted
We can always win even when we lose

(Bridge)
So, I’m making up stories ‘bout way back when
Making up memories of things that should have been
I do it over and over again and make believe it’s true
I can keep myself up all night
Trying to make the pieces fit just right
I can wish with all my might
But, I can’t have you

(Verse)
Sometimes I sit and look at old pictures
Photographs of the way you used to be
And I pretend I’m standing there beside you
But, the one in the picture isn’t me

(Bridge)
So, I’m making up stories ‘bout way back when
Making up memories of things that should have been
I do it over and over again and make believe it’s true
I can keep myself up all night
Trying to make the pieces fit just right
I can wish with all my might
But, I can’t have you
