The Book((Song))

{Verse 1}
Collecting dust up on the shelf
I took it down to air the pages out
The past got the best of me
And I began to read
About our story of love
When you were all I thought I'd need

{Chorus}
I read the book over
I turned the pages back
Lost in all the memories
Before your bags were packed
You were the title of this story
Without the happy end
But I have to close the book
And let another love begin

{Verse 2}
But the lines were so familiar
Fresh scenes in my head
I remembered every smile
And each tear that was shed
I remembered the promise of forever
And your unexpected goodbye
That night no tears fell
But I silently cried

{Chorus}
I read the book over
I turned the pages back
Lost in all the memories
Before your bags were packed
You were the title of this story
Without the happy end
But I have to close the book
And let another love begin

{Verse 3}
Without a second thought
I tore the pages a part
A bittersweet ending
And a head first start
The reminiscences will fade
It's only a matter of time
Before I find a true love
That I can call mine

{Chorus}
I read the book over
I turned the pages back
Lost in all the memories
Before your bags were packed
You were the title of this story
Without the happy end
But I have to close the book
And let another love begin
