Written In Rock Video (MV)

On my way back from a wedding I drove round some of the old streets
I got swept up by the memories of cold nights and warm sheets
I parked outside the house we'd lived in, I tried to think of all the pain
But all I remembered was the laughter and the precious trust we can't reclaim

There are no second prizes and there will be no consolation wreath
We may as well miss by a mile as miss by the skin of our teeth
They all thought we were some sure thing
I had the bloody coat and the wedding ring

Chorus:
But nothing's written in rock, I know I'm not the one
Was I just the great pretender
Written in rock, there was no battle won, only a mutual surrender
No guarantees, that's all right
If I was gonna stay I would have stayed all night
Bye bye love, you were so damn right
Nothing's written in rock, nothing's written in rock

You finally learned the deep dark secret, that I knew you were waiting for
So I watched the death of innocence of the young dreamer at life's door
This world can tear your soul to pieces, if you give it half a chance
There are no rules to remember, there are no written steps to the dance

I don't believe in fate, I don't believe in blind luck on the draw
I don't believe in love, I mean I don't believe anymore
They all thought we were the real thing
I had the bloody coat and the wedding ring

chorus

I remember you all dewy-eyed and breathless
Pointing the direction to the great promised land
I remember me all petrified and restless
Wondering what you were hiding in the other hand

Everybody keeps a lonely heart and everybody gets that feeling
Everybody needs another heart
To give a little bit of healing to a battered soul

Oh, nothing's written in rock, oh

chorus

Oh, nothing's written in rock, oh
