Rewrite

Eleven years old when he rewrote her story
Skipping many chapters as he went about his way
Her mother told her she wouldn't hear any more of her stories
They were just lies about a man she loved; no way

Now 13 years old
She sings lullaby songs
To her eight month old
Promising to love her through this story

Word by word
Page by page
In crooked letters
She fills her chapters
Word by word
Page by page
She writes her thoughts
And moulds her story

Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?
Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?
Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?

Nine years old when he rewrote his story (he was only nine years old)
Never ending nightmare, reality; it's all the same (it's all the same)
Anger overtook him;
didn't know how to tell these stories
(How does he tell it? How will he tell it?)
Screaming bloody murder all throughout his day (from the pain, oh!)

Etched in too deep
Are the painful memories
Pours another drink and
Wonders how he's gonna rewrite his story

Word by word
Page by page
In crooked letters
He fills his chapters
Word by word
Page by page
Writes his thoughts
And moulds his story, yeah

Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?
Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?
Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?

Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?
Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?
Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?

You won't take our strength
You won't take our light
You may try to win
But true, we can rewrite!

Rewrite!
Rewrite!

Word by word
Page by page
In big bold letters
You'll fill your chapters
Word by word
Page by page
Write your thoughts
And mould your story

Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?
Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?
Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?

Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?
Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?
Tell me, how do you rewrite a story?

Rewrite your story
Rewrite
