Faye:
If only you read my mind
You'd see I was hurt inside
A thousand times I've told myself
It's over, it's over
The story has just begun
And darling what's done is done
It's time to change and leave the past behind
Why do we know all the answers
Or how the story ends?
So baby
All:
Let's take a chance on a happy ending
Let's turn the page and stop pretending
The past can't stop a heart from mending
It's time to let go 'cause baby you know
Some things are better best forgotten
Claire:
And baby we can't pretend
In time the scars will mend
Please believe me there's a chance
Let's take it, let's take it
And maybe at last we'll find
That love should be true not blind
You can't deceive a heart that's open wide
And even now it's not too late
To change the story's end
So baby
All:
Let's take a chance on a happy ending
Let's turn the page and stop pretending
The past can't stop a heart from mending
It's time to let go 'cause baby you know
Some things are better best forgotten
Claire and Lisa:
Better best forgotten
Lisa:
The story has just begun
And darling what's done is done
It's time to change and leave the past behind
All:
Let's take a chance on a happy ending
Let's turn the page and stop pretending
The past can't stop a heart from mending
It's time to let go 'cause baby you know
Some things are better best forgotten
Let's take a chance on a happy ending
Let's turn the page and stop pretending
The past can't stop a heart from mending
It's time to let go 'cause baby you know
Some things are better best forgotten
Let's take a chance on a happy ending
Let's turn the page and stop pretending
The past can't stop a heart from mending
It's time to let go 'cause baby you know
Some things are
