The Book Of You & I - Alec Benjamin
Well, it all began in the back of her car
I was just 16 but I fell so hard
Well, the years went by and she held my heart
But her love ran dry and we fell apart
I felt her growing distant
I knew her love was shifting
And all that I could say was
Don't tell me that it's over
The book of you and I
Now you've scribbled out my name
And you've erased my favorite lines
There were so many chapters that we never got to write
Buy cereal for dinner
And staying up all night
I remember where we started
I remember how you looked but now
I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took
You didn't give a reason, I'll forever wonder why
We never got to finish the book of you and I
Well, I bought a pen and I turned the page
Then I wrote about how I wish you'd stayed
I said all the things that I never got to say
Maybe when it's done I will feel okay
That she had grown distant
I knew her love had shifted
I wish she felt the same
Don't tell me that it's over
The book of you and I
Now you've scribbled out my name
And you've erased my favorite lines
There were so many chapters that we never got to write
Like cereal for dinner
And staying up all night
I remember where we started
I remember how you looked but now
I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took
You never gave a reason, I'll forever wonder why
We never got to finish the book of you and I
Don't tell me
Tell me that you're leaving me
My belly hurts and my heart is hardly beating right
I hate to beg but I'll try one last time
Don't tell me that it's over
The book of you and I
Now you've scribbled out my name
And you've erased my favorite lines
There were so many chapters that we never got to write
Like cereal for dinner
And staying up all night
I remember where we started
I remember how you looked but now
I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took
You never gave a reason, I'll forever wonder why
We never got to finish the book of you and I
