Pages

[Verse 1]
In the notebook of my life
This line is so painful to write
I never did dream I'd be without you tonight
That chapter, how it ended
My heart broke and it bended
The weight, so great, pulled my back out of place
And I probably won't ever mend it

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's okay, I'm alright
I keep tellin' myself to keep it light
I'm fine, it's just time
I know, I know, I know that you were never mine
And you will always be a permanent marker on me
And I will always be searching for you

[Chorus]
These arе the pages I'm in
And now a new onе begins
These are the pages I'm in
(They're just empty now)
And now a new one begins
These are the pages, these are the pages
The spiral-bound (The spiral-bound)

[Verse 2]
And now I'm all alone
All the way over a time zone
So far from our old home
Or the streets we know
And I'm halfway down the road of my life
You're a story I couldn't hold, I couldn't write
And every day, I'm one day older, am I right?
And every day, you were fucking cold and that's life

[Pre-Chorus]
And okay, I'm alright
I keep tellin' myself to keep it light
I'm fine, take your time
I know, I know, I know that you were never mine
And you will always be a permanent marker on me
And I will always be searching for you

[Chorus]
These are the pages I'm in
(And all the ink stains my skin)
And now a new one begins
These are the pages I'm in
(They're just empty now)
And now a new one begins
These are the pages, these are the pages
The spiral-bound (The spiral-bound)

[Bridge]
I got one song of loving you, two songs of leaving you
I got headlights in front of me, nothing but empty streets
I just want us both okay
We rode the dirt road back to where it's paved
I think you are the leaver and I'm the believer
And these are the cages

[Chorus]
These are the pages I'm in
(And all the ink stains my skin)
And now a new one begins
(I don't know where we end)
These are the pages I'm in
(They're just empty now)
And now a new one begins
These are the pages, these are the pages
The spiral-bound (Oh-oh)
