Once upon a time we were in love
But that was a million chapters ago
This romance novel is now blank with confusion
Worn-out edges are starting to show

We have ripped out some pages, crumpled-up hearts
Well, I don�t want to get dusty on a shelf with no bookmark

Time won�t wait by the nightstand

Now you�ve got the pen in your hand
Are you going to help me understand
And I don�t want any fiction, I just want the truth
Is there a happy ending, is it with you
Please don�t leave me out of the story
Don�t close our book, babe, don�t write me away
Just give me one more chance to write you a way
to love me

You say I�ve got to read between the lines
But baby there�s not enough space
I know things were said that we wish we could edit
But blue ink tears bled we can�t erase

We�ve got to turn this page together
But sticky fingers can�t get to ever after

Under-Cover, paper-cuts can�t hide
