Lyrics

If I were a book
You said I?d be a mystery
Uncertain at the end, I guess
Keep you at the edge of me

But I feel more like a tragedy
Playing out the hero?s part
Dying just before the lesson?s learned
And you promise me your heart

If you were a book
It?s poems you would be
Where understanding comes so slow
And meaning hides so deeply

But I?m gonna write a brand new book
In a novel sort of way
Gonna stare at these blank pages
Until you tell me what they say

If I were a book
You said I?d be a mystery
Uncertain at the end, I guess
Keep you at the edge of me

Well if I am that book
I?m very near the end
So hold me close, and read my heart
And tell me how we end
