I'm armed with everything I need
Pen and paper and stories
Love and loss written in ink
You can't erase but you can change
I could write your perfect love song
Or laments about times gone
The back cover isn't bound on
With every moment comes a new blank page

This story's nonfiction, it's not over yet
This pen can't tell me what will happen next
This is your story, you're living it now
And you write the end

This won't be bent from page to screen
Broadway will never stage the scene
Cause only you know what it means
No one else can send that message
So read all the fairytales and rhymes
Live life by your favorite lines
You're the narrator this time
Don't let this be a boring passage

This story's nonfiction, it's not over yet
This pen can't tell me what will happen next
This is your story, you're living it now
And you write the end

You write new chapters every day
Breaking up and coming of age
You wish you wouldn't seperate
Like the couple in that novel
It's anti-climactic, you know
If you don't move on, let go
I'm not saying don't have hope
But you can make this end well

This story's nonfiction, it's not over yet
This pen can't tell me what will happen next
This is your story, you're living it now
And you write the end

You've gotta run
Too fast for him to catch you
Cause you don't want
Your story to read like
She read about the past
Over and over again
Until her last day
She died of regret
Of never falling love again

This story's nonfiction, it's not over yet
This pen can't tell me what will happen next
This is your story, you're living it now
And you write the end
You will write the end
