I should leave you
After everything that we've been through
But you & I, we just don't want to walk away
There is so much to love
& it's tearing us apart
Though we both know what choice we should make
I don't want to be the one who calls you to say

If life's a book, then I guess I'm the author
I'm not growing old, with a chip on my shoulder
I made you believe, this was easy for me
So, I don't know what to tell you
‘Cause I was so sure of us…

Did you mean it?
When you said there were no more secrets?
I can tell there's something that you want to say
There are words on your chest
I can hear them on your breath
Though you swallow them to keep me safe
You say one more word I might just ask you to stay…

If life's a book, then I guess I'm the author
I'm not growing old, with a chip on my shoulder
I made you believe, this was easy for me
So, I don't know what to tell you
'Cause I was so sure of us…

Don't cry
Not another tear from your eye
Even if it kills me tonight
I will visit you one more time
(Don't you)
Don't you understand
We don't have a chance
How do I let go
When you're all I have?
I can't let go

If life's a book, then I guess I'm the author
I'm not growing old, with a chip on my shoulder
I made you believe, this was easy for me
So, I don't know what to tell you
'Cause I was so sure of us…
