He said I love you
She looked away
He said I need you
She met his gaze
He said I want you
She couldn’t say
the same
So she ran away
Is this the greatest story ever told?
It breaks your heart
Oh doesn’t it break your heart?
So why is this the greatest story ever told?
Because it happened to me
and it happened to you
And we all wish it didn’t
But that’s the best we can get
for trying to tell the greatest story ever told
You say you love me
I’ve had enough
You say you need me
I had it rough
You say I want me
Oh I’ll be tough
I will be
and walk away
Is this the greatest story ever told?
It breaks your heart
Oh doesn’t it break your heart?
So why is this the greatest story ever told?
Because it happened to me
and after it did
I came out better than before
But that’s the lesson I learned
from the greatest story ever told
The greatest story ever told
It breaks your heart
That all you wanted was to hold, hold her
and make it the greatest story ever told
But then she walked away
and ripped your heart everyday
And you learned to brave the cold
This is the greatest story ever told
