The Book Of You & I

Well, it all began in the back of her carI was just sixteen, but I fell so hardWell, the years went by and she held my heartBut her love ran dry and we fell apartI felt her growing distantI knew her love was shiftingAnd all that I could say wasDon't tell me that it's overThe book of you and INow you've scribbled out my nameAnd you've erased my favourite linesThere were so many chapters that we never got to writeLike cereal for dinner and staying up all nightI remember where we startedI remember how you lookedBut now I'm missing bits and piecesFrom the pages that you tookYou didn't give a reason now I'll forever wonder whyWe never got to finish the book of you and IWell, I bought a pen and I turned the pageThen I wrote about how I wish you'd stayI said all the things that I never got to sayMaybe when it's done I will feel okayThat she had grown so distantAnd that her love had shiftedI wish she felt the sameDon't tell me that it's overThe book of you and INow you've scribbled out my nameAnd you've erased my favourite linesThere were so many chapters that we never got to writeLike cereal for dinner and staying up all nightI remember where we startedI remember how you lookedBut now I'm missing bits and piecesFrom the pages that you tookYou never gave a reason now I'll forever wonder whyWe never got to finish the book of you and IDon't tell me, tell me that you're leavingMy belly hurts and my heart is hardly beating rightI hate to beg but I'll try one last timeDon't tell me that it's overThe book of you and INow you've scribbled out my nameAnd you've erased my favorite linesThere were so many chapters that we never got to writeLike cereal for dinner and staying up all nightI remember where we startedI remember how you lookedBut now I'm missing bits and piecesFrom the pages that you tookYou never gave a reason now I'll forever wonder whyWe never got to finish the book of you and I
