Pages of You

Like a picture form a book I read
Sunlight through the sheets from my bed
Blowing in the breeze so carelessly
The corner of the page flipped down
Not quite lost but never found your way back from those memories

The colors trapped, inside they'll stay
A world of vibrance, lived in gray
Those secrets you took to your grave

(Burning the pages of you)
Hiding from the monsters in my room
Living with the ones he left inside of you
Forever kept me safe and sound, free from every darkness all around
I'm burning all that I thought I knew

And with a whisper that cuts like a knife held to your neck
Another flicker of the light burns bright like cigarettes
On the wings of birds you hung from your wall
(You could never fly away)
In the dreams you turn and brace for the fall
And you feel that burn again

(Burning the pages of you)
Hiding from the monsters in my room
Living with the ones he left inside of you
Forever kept me safe and sound, free from every darkness all around
I'm burning all that I thought I knew

As you lay there with your soul split open
On your face it says "this is the end, this is the end for me"
But you pushed ahead and kept on hoping
You didn't let your life stay broken
You gave your days to make a life for me

You kept all of those monsters at bay
And through it all, you fought to keep me safe

Burning the pages of you
