"Someone Else's Story"-Chess

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZLDdEJulCk

Long ago in someone else's lifetime someone with my name

who looked a lot like me.

Came to know a man and made a promise he only had to say

and that's where she would be.

Lately, although the feelings run just as deep,

the promise she made has grown impossible to keep

and yet I wish it wasn't so.

Will he miss me if I go?

In a way it's someone else's story. I don't see myself as taking part at all. Yesterday

a girl that I was fond of

finally could see the writing on the wall.

Sadly she realized she'd left him behind and sadder than that she knew he wouldn't even mind and though, there's nothing left to say, would he listen if I stay?

It's all very well to say "you fool it's now or never."

I could be choosing no choices whatsoever.

I could be in someone else's story. In someone else's life

and he could be in mine. I don't see a reason to be lonely. I could take my chances further down the line. And if that girl I knew should ask my advice

oh I wouldn't hesitate she needn't ask me twice. "Go now!"

I'd tell her that for free.

Trouble is, the girl is me.

The story is, the girl is me.

I was going to post about this song I'm going to gush about. It's about betrayal in general, but the feeling behind it is true to the pain felt by infidelity. I love this song so so much. Even the way the video is shot...the singer's real vulnerability makes it even more amazing. How much bravery he must have to film this in public, alone.

The song is called Iscariot, by Walk the Moon.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPQeMqiKqKs

Iscariot

Until now, I knew this of myself

That if you had thrown yourself down

Into the lion's den

My brother, I'd follow you in

Perhaps I lack some foresight (Should have known)

Brother, you were so right

Sure as the setting sun

You can't trust just anyone

That's what you want, but it's not what you're asking for

I said that's what you're asking, but you're gonna get more than you bargained for

I said that's what you had, but you don't have it any more

You had it coming

I never imagined you dead (I never)

But tell me, are you even aware

That all that we did, you undo

Iscariot, you fool

That's what you want, but it's not what you're asking for

I said that's what you're asking, but you're gonna get more than you bargained for

I said that's what you had, but you don't have it any more

You had it coming

Oh you know you had it coming my friend, my friend

You know you had it coming my brother, oh my brother

Had it coming my friend, my friend

You know you had it coming my brother, oh my brother

Had it coming my friend, my friend

You know you had it coming my brother, oh my brother

Had it coming my friend, my friend

You had it coming.
