You want us to start on a blank page
Filling in all the lines
I’d write the happy ending
But the past stains my mind
Feel like I’m on my last try
Constantly searching for words
Wish I could say I’m confused but
We’ve been here before
Guess I could try a last time
And the answer will write itself
Maybe I’ll give a little more
If only for myself
One day I’ll know
If you’re here because you care
One day I’ll know
If it’s loneliness we share
I’ll know our love was failure
Or if it was just for paper
I’ll know, I'll know, I'll know
I don’t know if I should trust you
And forgive you again
You’re full of excuses
But you can’t erase the pen
Sometimes I’m on the verge of
Finally turning the page
But you draw me in
You heal the ache
Guess I could try a last time
And the answer will write itself
Maybe I’ll give a little more
If only for myself
One day I’ll know
If you’re here because you care
One day I’ll know
If it’s loneliness we share
I’ll know our love was failure
Or if it was just for paper
I’ll know, I'll know, I'll know
I’ll know you’ll tear
My heart out of these
Pages, you’ll swear
You won’t hurt me
Again, but your story is running thin
I’ll write it, but will my pen run out of ink?
One day I’ll know
If you’re here because you care
One day I’ll know
If it’s loneliness we share
I’ll know our love was failure
Or if it was just for paper
I’ll know, I'll know, I'll know
