The Author

Sleepless
Waiting for my eyes to dry
As your message sinks around me
And you fade into the night

Old words
A couple notes with hearts on file
All I'm left with is a bracelet
And a shitty sense of timing

Will you write me in or set our scenes aside?
I know your life is one big story
But I hope I left it right

From the lasting fringe, I let my mind run wild
I can't help but skate the edges
Asking if you'll kill me off in silence

(Hey)

I'm still hoping that you'll come back in time
Cuz I'm still up late, hoping this plays out
Yes, in my lonesome, my arc's an empty mile
All I do is wait, for the big finale

It's your show
I just hate that I got cut

Yeah, I'm all for a storybook ending but that seems so far
Reality hits, leaving Bruises that tell me you're gone
Now I'm up watching shows
From the list that we'd worked on so long
But the romance, I skip it, since that's all the shit I want

And that's all I got
I've been written off
I'll pack up my things
I'll say a few words
And try and move on

Now I can't help but skate the edges
Asking if you'll kill me off in silence
