I should leave you After everything that we've been through But you & 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... 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 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" 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
