The Writer

Verse 1:
Never said I loved you and I didn’t even try
Caution to the wind we just let the passion drive
Picking up the pieces of an empty broken heart
I want to say I’m sorry but the sentence never starts

Pre-Chorus:
Just painful contradiction nothing really how it seems
Always feeling led astray while living in your fantasy

Chorus:
Beginning a brand new chapter staring at an empty page
No happily ever after a movie that will be never be made
There’s a story but the writer’s in the way

Verse 2:
The picture won’t be hanging in the gallery for long
All the details fade until the masterpiece is gone
And as the days grow longer the story doesn’t change
We passed the climax long ago a temporary phase

Pre-Chorus:
Could this be my imagination something’s really nothing it seems
All I see is a vacant stage no one’s left to finish the scene

Chorus:
Beginning a brand new chapter staring at an empty page
No happily ever after a movie that will be never be made
There’s a story but the writer’s in the way

Pre-Chorus:
I came to a realization letting go is everything
What may be lost can be found in the hands of destiny

Chorus:
Beginning a brand new chapter staring at an empty page
No happily ever after a movie that will be never be made
There’s a story but the writer’s in the way
