Pages

Verse 1
If I ever sat down to think about you
I bet, I could write a book about you
But, what's the use? What's the point?
The tears I cry shall wash them away
I thought I had you figured out
I thought I knew you, without a doubt
I had no clue of the mysteries you'd hidden
Inside of you
Away from me

Chorus
I thought I'd read you through
Read everything inside, out
Now I know that
The cover was all I read
All the pages inside I'd read before
Pages that told me so much about you
I did not know
That those pages were torn
I could have sworn I knew you
I was so sure that I knew you

Verse 2
So many things you've held back
Things that don't matter to most
You kept them oh so close
Words that I said and moved on
Those were the words you held on to
I guess that the things went dark
Now, that, I see you're gone
I should have seen that you were alone
Now, these things remain unknown

Bridge
I could have filled out the pages myself
But, they would all be meaningless
These things, you hid are hard to suppress
And, if you confessed, I wouldn't love you any less

Chorus
I thought I'd read you through
Read everything inside, out
Now I know that
The cover was all I read
You wrote your story in blood
All the things you held back, you let it flood
I was a fool, I took you for granted
Now, that you're gone
I don't care of the unknown
I could have sworn I knew you
I was so sure that I knew you
