I didn't know...

Hey, she put a pen to my heart and wrote down her name, yeah

And ever since then my life just ain't been the same, no

She left a mark with every word that she wrote

Maybe i should've know who she was

Cause she had me at a once upon a time

And all at once she blew my mind and broke my heart into pieces

I didn't know i was just a character

Another chapter in the works

Another victim of her words

Cause she was the writer

She was the star

She was the writer

And she wrote off my heart

And i knew because when i said i loved her, she found another

And that's how, that's how, that's how the story goes

She wrote me into a life so late in the book, yeah

So by the end of the paragraph, i was so sure

Oh i didn't know i was living by day to day, page to page, what a shame yeah

I was just a footnote in her game

Cause she had me at a once upon a time

And all at once she blew my mind and broke my heart into pieces

I didn't know i was just a character

Another chapter in the works

Another victim of her words

Cause she was the writer

She was the star

She was the writer

And she wrote off my heart

And i knew because when i said i loved her, she found another

And that's how, that's how, that's how the story goes

It goes on and on and on, but for me it all went wrong

And that's how, that's how the story goes

It goes on and on and on, but for me it didn't last too long

And now our time is over and gone

Cause she was the writer

She was the star

She was the writer

And she wrote off my heart

And i knew because when i said i loved her, she found another

And that's how, that's how, that's how the story goes

That's how it goes yeah
