aurora newcomb - book of tragedy lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
my mind is clear
lines no longer blurred
thoughts laid out
know my every word

but the pressure beating down
becomes too much to bare
so i submit
although it isn’t fair
once upon a time so long ago
you were my beacon of light
leading me through snow
i’m freezing now
but you already know
you’re the puppet master
i’m stuck in your show

[pre+chorus 1]
cause when a star burns out
it creates a black hole
and it sucks all the joy
right out of your soul
i can’t crawl back like a centipede
but here i am down on my knees

[chorus]
love
love’s an empty page
in our book of tragedy
is it really our destiny
to cause so much agony?
this was love not poverty
when we write in our book
of tragedy
[verse 2]
my guilty thoughts
ring through for days
when i apologize
all i receive is rage

never happy with me
no matter what i complete
it’s never enough
i’m groveling at your feet

you say no one
should ever have to change
you don’t recognize
when you cause my pain

say it’s all my fault
and i understand
i should be your doll
smile and hold your hand

[pre+chorus 2]
cause when the ink runs out
there’s no way to write
the communication seems to be compromised
and when i try to speak
it seems we only fight
but when you’re happy
it still seems to make my night
[chorus]
love
love’s an empty page
in our book of tragedy
is it really our destiny
to cause so much agony?
this was love not poverty
when we write in our book
of tragedy

uh huh
oh oh

uh huh
oh oh

[bridge]
do you think i love our little pattern?
three days of good
my heart takes a leap
three days more
it shatters

[chorus]
love
love’s an empty page
in our book of tragedy
is it really our destiny
to cause so much agony?

[outro]
but the truth is i’ll wait for you
won’t just abandon
all that we’ve been through
still pray every single
night and day
soon we will find it
find our way

but until then babe
call my bluff
cause i’ll be there
be there when you wake up
take my hand
bat your eyes
but it won’t be enough
to just quiet my mind
with that meaningless stuff

you’re a poet with a mean streak
walking down on main street
scribbling in that book
with my heart in a pocket full of change
stolen dreams and those pages
that you took

from a storybook
long ago
when you thought you had me
in a storybook storybook
of tragedy
