I should leave you

After everythin' 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 tearin' us apart

Though we both know what choice we should make

I don't wanna be the one who calls you to say, uh

If life's a book, then I guess I'm the author

I'm not growin' 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 somethin' 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, ah

If life's a book, then I guess I'm the author

I'm not growin' 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 growin' 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
