lyrics

Treats me like a book on a shelf.
Takes me down when he's got nothing else.
Recites my lines of love sick poetry then puts me back when my words get too heavy.
My pages fray with words I'll never say, my spine aches with age.
The dust collects like heartbreak in my chest.
I write all I can, he puts me back on the shelf again.
Do you wonder how I spend my time on nights you leave
me lonely with my mind?
Where I go, with who, or how I feel?
The demons in my nightmares are too real.
My pages fray with truth I'll never say, my spine aches with age.
The dust collects like heartbreak in my chest.
I write all I can, he puts me back on the shelf...
But I write all I can, he puts me back on the shelf.
I write all I can he puts me back on the shelf again.
I write, and I ache, I write, and I wait.
I write and I ache, I write and I wait
I wait til your finger tips they graze my tattered spine...
