The Book of You & I

Well, it all began in the back of her car I was just 16, but I fell so hard Well, the years went by, and she held my heart But her love ran dry, and we fell apart I felt her growing distant I knew her love was shifting And all that I could say was- Don't tell me that it's over, the book of you and I Now you've scribbled out my name, and you've erased my favorite lines There were so many chapters that we never got to write Like "Cereal for Dinner" and "Staying Up All Night" I remember where we started, I remember how you looked But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took You didn't give a reason, I'll forever wonder why We never got to finish the book of you and I Well, I bought a pen, and I turned the page Then I wrote about how I wish you'd stayed I said all the things that I never got to say Maybe when it's done, I will feel okay That she had grown so distant And that her love had shifted I wish she felt the same Don't tell me that it's over, the book of you and I Now you've scribbled out my name, and you've erased my favorite lines There were so many chapters that we never got to write Like "Cereal for Dinner" and "Staying Up All Night" I remember where we started, I remember how you looked But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took You never gave a reason, I'll forever wonder why We never got to finish the book of you and I Don't tell me, tell me that you're leaving My belly hurts, and my heart is hardly beating right I hate to beg, but I'll try one last time Don't tell me that it's over, the book of you and I Now you've scribbled out my name, and you've erased my favorite lines There were so many chapters that we never got to write Like "Cereal for Dinner" and "Staying Up All Night" I remember where we started, I remember how you looked But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took You never gave a reason, I'll forever wonder why We never got to finish the book of you and I
