You Write the End

I'm armed with everything I need

Pen and paper and stories

Love and loss written in ink

You can't erase but you can change

I could write your perfect love song

Or laments about times gone

The back cover isn't bound on

With every moment comes a new blank page

This story's nonfiction, it's not over yet

This pen can't tell me what will happen next

This is your story, you're living it now

And you write the end

This won't be bent from page to screen

Broadway will never stage the scene

Cause only you know what it means

No one else can send that message

So read all the fairytales and rhymes

Live life by your favorite lines

You're the narrator this time

Don't let this be a boring passage

This story's nonfiction, it's not over yet

This pen can't tell me what will happen next

This is your story, you're living it now

And you write the end

You write new chapters every day

Breaking up and coming of age

You wish you wouldn't seperate

Like the couple in that novel

It's anti-climactic, you know

If you don't move on, let go

I'm not saying don't have hope

But you can make this end well

This story's nonfiction, it's not over yet

This pen can't tell me what will happen next

This is your story, you're living it now

And you write the end

You've gotta run

Too fast for him to catch you

Cause you don't want

Your story to read like

She read about the past

Over and over again

Until her last day

She died of regret

Of never falling love again

This story's nonfiction, it's not over yet

This pen can't tell me what will happen next

This is your story, you're living it now

And you write the end

You will write the end
