Lyrics:

If my life was an open book
I guess I'd let you have a look
Set you up with Chapter One
And then I'd wait until you're done
There's nothing that I'd want to hide
I just forget to look inside
Would it 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
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 could try to change the end
But I'd just change it back again
Then maybe we could collaborate
On all the sections that you hate
Would it be worth a second look
If my life was an open book?
