Lyrics
Woo-oh
Ba-baby
No, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You said my heart's just like an open book
But there are lines you've never seen
You said that you could tell in a single look
But you never looked in between
Sometimes I wanted to keep you, sometimes I wanted your love
But I've awakened to the reality that sometimes is not enough (over)
Our separate dreams pulled us our separate ways
We were so different from the very start
To me, it was forever to you, it was just a phase
I'll give back your name
If you give back your heart (if you give back my heart)
You said you'd take me to another world
I said you were only posing
You'd never be able to read this, girl
So the open book is closing, closing, closing
Closing (oh, oh, oh)
Sometimes it felt so natural, sometimes it felt so right
It doesn't seem fair that you and I ever had a fight (no)
Sometimes I wanted to keep you, sometimes I wanted your love
But I've awakened to the reality that sometimes is not enough (oh)
Now your touch is a reminder, like the thorns upon a rose
The beauty is mine if I can stand the cut
You said you'd take me to another world
I said you were only posing
You'd never be able to read this, girl
So the open book is closing, closing, closing
Closing (oh, oh, oh)
You said you'd take me to another world
I said you were only posing
You'd never be able to read this, girl
So the open book is closing, closing, closing
Closing (oh, oh, oh)
