If my life was an open book I
guess I'd let you have a look
Set you up with chapter one
There's nothing that I want to hide
I just forget to look inside
Would it be worth the time it took
If my life was an open book?
But I thought that I should let you know
The things that I don't always show
Might not be worth the time it took
If my life was an open book
If I could make some new mistakes
And not the same ones every time
Time and time and time again
Time and time and time again
And maybe I could feel some shame
And not try hard to act surprised
The promises I wouldn't break
If I could make some new mistakes
But I thought that I should let you know
The things that I don't always show
Might not be worth the time it took
If my life was an open book
If my life was an open book
I guess I'd let you have a look
And you can try and change the end
If I just change it back again
And then we could collaborate
On all the sections that you hate
Give it all one final look
Yet my life was an open book
But I thought that I should let you know
The things that I don't always show
Might not be worth the time it took
If my life was an open book
If my life was an open book
