Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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) But the story has just begun And darling whats done is done It's time to change and leave the past behind Why should we know all the answers Or how the story ends (so baby) Let's take a chance on a happy ending (Let's) turn the page and stop pretending The past can stop a heart from mending It's time to let go 'cos baby you know Some things are better best forgotten And baby we can't pretend In time the scars will mend Please believe me theres 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 decieve a heart that's open wide (And) even now it's not to late To change the story's end (so baby) Let's take a chance on a happy ending (Let's) turn the page and stop pretending The past can stop a heart from mending It's time to let go 'cos baby you know Some things are better best forgotten The story has just begun Darlin' what's done is done It's time to leave the past behind

Line by Line Meaning

If only you read my mind
I wish you could understand my pain without me having to explain


You'd see I was hurt inside
You would see the emotional wounds inside me that need healing


A thousand times I've told myself it's over (it's over)
I've tried to convince myself that the painful past is behind me, but I haven't been successful


But the story has just begun
Despite the pain, I am not ready to give up on love and hope for a better future


And darling whats done is done
We cannot undo the past, but we can choose to move forward and learn from our mistakes


It's time to change and leave the past behind
It's time to make a conscious decision to move on from the past and embrace a brighter future


Why should we know all the answers
We don't need to have all the answers to take a chance on love and happiness


Or how the story ends (so baby)
We cannot predict the future, so let's take a risk and believe in a happy ending


Let's take a chance on a happy ending
Let's be optimistic and take a leap of faith towards a happy future


(Let's) turn the page and stop pretending
We need to let go of the past and be honest with our feelings to move forward


The past can stop a heart from mending
Holding onto the past can prevent emotional healing and growth


It's time to let go 'cos baby you know
It's time to move on and embrace a hopeful future because deep down, we know it's what's best for us


Some things are better best forgotten
Some painful memories are better left in the past to avoid further hurt


And baby we can't pretend
We can't pretend that everything is okay when it's not


In time the scars will mend
With time, emotional wounds will heal and we'll be able to move on


Please believe me theres a chance
Believe in the possibility of a happy ending, despite the painful past


let's take it (let's take it)
Let's take the chance and make the most of it


And maybe at last we'll find
Perhaps we'll finally discover true love and happiness


That love should be true not blind
Real love is not based on superficial factors, but on true emotions and compatibility


You can't decieve a heart that's open wide
Authentic love cannot be faked or deceived, especially with an open and honest heart


(And) even now it's not to late
Despite the past, it's never too late to start anew


To change the story's end (so baby)
We have the power to change the ending of our love story for the better


The story has just begun
There's still so much potential for our love story and future


Darlin' what's done is done
Let's accept the past and focus on the present and future


It's time to leave the past behind
It's time to make a conscious decision to let go of the painful past and embrace a hopeful future

Yeah I'm a deeper shade of blue
And there's nothing I can do
You're so far, far away
You're so far away
Into each life
Some rain must fall
I didn't know
I would catch it all
The clear skies have gone
And you with them too
It's not the same now without you
I used to say
You're so beautiful
But it didn't change
A thing at all
There's nowhere to run
Got nowhere to hide
I can't forget you and I've tried, but
I'm a deeper shade of blue
And there's nothing I can do
You're so far, far away
Yeah, I'm a darker shade of me
And I just can't be free
You're so far, far away
You're so far away
Into each life
Some sun must shine
Well someone else
Must be getting mine
The days are so empty
Nights are so long
Awaking to find again that you're gone
I used to say
You were wonderful
Now I just wonder
Where you are
It's easy to say, memories fade
But I'm still missing you
Nothing's changed and
I'm a deeper shade of blue
And there's nothing I can do
You're so far, far away
Yeah, I'm a darker shade of me
And I just can't be free
You're so far, far away
You're so far away
Hey
Summer is over
And all we are is apart
The nights are so cold now
Without you in my heart cos
I'm a deeper shade of blue
And there's nothing I can do
You're so far, far away
Yeah, I'm a darker shade of me
And I just can't be free
You're so far, far away
You're so far away

Awaking to find again that you've gone

Now I just wonder where you are
It's easy to say memories fade
But I'm still missing you
Nothing's changed ... and

A Spanish fan of Steps here. IΒ΄ve just run into them, 25 years later, but I think theyΒ΄re great!!!! Lisa and Lee are my favourites, but itΒ΄s amazing how all them sing and dance, I love all their songs, I wish they produced a new album soon.

allenx71

Man Claire’s beauty is breathtaking and the voice only just adds to the effect! She is just plain gorgeous!

So glad the band is back. Just revisiting personal favorites from their old albums.

Joe S

Could not agree more, she put loads of weight on then lost it again.

Michico Dafilmoto

Steps never gets old for me. I started watching STEPS DVD's when I was 3 years old. I grew up with STEPS because my mom always bought their CD's. We watched them together and I pretty much memorize all their songs until now. I still love them. OMG STEPS <3

KpopGeek

Michico Dafilmoto DITTO!! even at school discos they were always playing. VERY Nostalgic.

Claire's vocals at the end are superb, love this song.

Emo Spider-Man

Claire is so unbelievably gorgeous, and you just know she's the main singer on everything Steps. Pipes and lungs. I could watch her singing anything for hours and never get bored.
