Pageturner Lyrics

Could've been

Should've been

Would've been

But you lied

To me

Didn't you?

You couldn't choose

Between the devil and the sea

All of the time

I never questioned you were mine

Fooled by scheming and device

What's out of sight is out of mind, oh

In your dreams of monochrome

Do you dance on graves or rake the bones

Are you happy with the path you chose?

Cause the other one you hungered for is

Gone gone gone

There's no more pages to turn

Sigh for the bridges you burned

Cold fingers tracing your spine

Filed in place, turn out the light

Jump on in

Over the rim

Take a chance that we'll swim

Not sink

Without a sound

You turned around

And whispered promises to him

Over coffee, cake and sympathy

I didn't see the irony

Of snowflakes etched into the glass

To pretty up the cracks, oh

Do you wonder what we're fighting for

When the battles escalate to war

Or imagine sitting on his horse

As you slip the noose to string this boy along

So wrong

There's no more pages to turn

Sigh for the bridges you burned

Cold fingers tracing your spine

Filed in place, turn out the light

I'll bet you tried to have your cake and eat it

Satan's advocate has taken the throne

Time expired, you made your choice

Do you regret it?

In the end you settled for what you'd known

There's no more pages to turn

Sigh for the bridges you burned

Cold fingers tracing your spine

Filed in place, turn out the light

Could've been

Should've been

Would've been

But you lied
