Author Lyrics

I should leave you
After everything 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 tearing us apart
Though we both know what choice we should make
I don't want to 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 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

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
