I should leave you

After everything that we've been through

But you and I, we just don't want to walk away

There is so much to love

and 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
