I should leave you, after everything that we've been through
But you and I, we just don't wanna 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 wanna be the one who calls you to say, oh
If life's a book, then I guess I'm the author
I'm not growing old, with hardship on my shoulder
I made you believe, this was easy for me
So I don't know what to tell ya
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 wanna 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, yeah
If life's a book, then I guess I'm the author
I'm not growing old, with hardship on my shoulder
I made you believe, this was easy for me
So I don't know what to tell ya
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 hardship on my shoulder
I made you believe, this was easy for me
So I don't know what to tell ya
Cause I was so sure of us
