LYRICS (ORIGINAL):
[Verse 1]
Your books of love have happy endings
and always leave you satisfied
They make you judge love by the cover
and make you want what's written inside
[Chorus 1]
But I
am no page turner that's for sure
I know
I always leave you wanting more
[Verse 2]
They say a book can take you places
But you've never been that far away
I want to be beside you on your journey
Whatever path you choose to take
[Chorus 2]
'cause I
am not someone who turns the page
so easily
I'll stay with you if you're afraid
[Bridge]
[Verse 3]
This final chapter ends our story
it's time to put that book away
I hope it met your expectations
and it made you feel the way
[Chorus 3]
That I
still feel each time I look at you
I want you
to say that you still feel it too
So I
know I was right to marry you
I want
somebody who still feels it too
Somebody who feels it too
