open book

she told lies so sweetly
and i believed her completely
the more i wanted the more i listened
till her darkness glistened

i don’t know what she wanted but i know what she took
everybody’s got their stories, my life is an open book

now she came here invited
and the destruction she incited
as i stood there dumbfounded
as the last (warning) bell sounded

i don’t know what she wanted but i know what she took
everybody’s got their stories, my life is an open book
so i’m left here kind of hollow

with more truth than i can swallow
now it’s heartache i’m romancing
while she’s some where slow dancing

i don’t know what she wanted but i know what she took
everybody’s got their stories, my life is an open book
