Love Me In Chapters II

I settled for love that only left me scarred
Only told me I'm gorgeous when he's semi-hard
And I cried in the bathroom while he played guitar
Now I lay in the bedroom and I travel far

He called me a flower and still broke my heart
Oh, he picked on my petals and tore me apart
Now I'm out in the garden 'cause love didn't last
In real life

So I spend my time
Reading about it, turning the pages and pages
Allowing myself to fade in the story about him
Kissed me in chapters, loved me in writing
I'll be your coat in the thunder and lightning

We'll have a house and the house is a home
And the home has a fence and I won't be alone
Leave a kiss on my forehead and I won't have to worry
'Cause our hearts never break if we're living in a story

And I'II make you breakfast and some for the kids
And they'll play piano and take vitamins
And they'll believe in love 'cause they look up to us
And you would just adore me, living in a story

A story I know like the back of my hand
Hope you read every line so you understand
All the reasons for why and the reasons we can be
Imperfectly perfect, I promise it's worth it

It's easy
Lost in the memory we're painting
A cover of a book we've been making
It's heartbreaking

Because I spend all of my time
Reading about it, turning the pages and pages
Allowing myself to fade in the story about him
Kissed me in chapters, loved me in writing
I'll be your coat in the thunder and lightning

We'll have a house and the house is a home
And the home has a fence and I won't be alone
Leave a kiss on my forehead and I won't have to worry
'Cause our hearts never break if we're living in a story

And I'II make you breakfast and some for the kids
And they'll play piano and take vitamins
And they'll believe in love 'cause they look up to us
And you would just adore me, living in a story

There'll be no pain and no crying, no sitting in silence
No wishing for change, no change in my diet
No guilt on your conscience, no blood on your hands
No salt in our seas, no stones in our sand

There's no hatred or violence, no little white lying
No waiting for pain, no love unrequited
No thorns in my roses, no sorrow unplanned
'Til then, I'm content with my book in my hand
