Lyrics

I heard the glass crash to the floor
But before I got to the bedroom door
You were like a ghost

Engine roarin' up outside
I just knew this time somethin'wasn't right
It was over now

In the wake of your spinnin
wheels
Was a heart that never fully got the chance to heal

And all I could see
was all the black ink
runnin' from the pages
the novel you wrote
I bet its composed of empty phrases
I crinkled it up
with tears on my skin
I slammed the door and screamed so loud don't show your face again
It's not the first time
But it's about time
That I walked away

Abandoned trust, and a broken home
Has anchored me here for far too long
On this lonely shore

This love is cracked
And it's spilling down
I was draped in you
Now I'm halfway out
Of your hollow soul

I'll retrace my steps again
And face it all with thicker skin this time

Cause all I can see is all the black in runnin off the pages
the novel you wrote
I bet its composed of empty phrases
I crinkled it up with tears on my skin,
Slammed the door and screamed so loud don't show your face again
It's not the first time but its about time
That I walked away.

If leavin' me is so easy
I won't ask you, I will not ask you to say

Cause all I can see is all the black ink runnin' from the pages
The novel you wrote
I know its composed of empty phrases
Well I figured it out
I threw it away
And I'm a gonna find someone to love someday
And its the first time,
In a long time

That I'm okay.
