Different Story

Mackenzie Phillips


People's lie's 
And people's truth's 
And people's broken dreams 
The things they keep 
The things they say 
Things they make believe 

I try to stop to hold my breath 
And wonder what I'll find 
Behind the door something stirs 
But only in my mind 

If you listen to your fears 
And follow foolish dreams 
Believing they are real 
When they're not quite what they seem 
Then you can write a different story 

I come across a different place 
A different way of life 
Looking for the time I've lost 
To put the past behind 

Sometimes I try 
Sometimes I fail 
And sometimes I close my eyes 
Different places that I've found 
Were only in my mind 

If you listen to your fears 
And follow foolish dreams 
Believing they are real 
When they're not quite what they seem 

If you listen to your fears 
And you follow foolish dreams 
Beliving they are real 
When they're not quite what they seem 

Then you can write a different story... 
Then you can write a different story... 
Then you can write a different story... 
Then you can write a different story... 
Then you can write a different story...
