[Verse 1] I can tell you've lived by the marks on your skin These are like the pages of a book The lines beside your eyes let me know that you have smiled A little more than I ever could And I know that you can't sleep at night For the hollow bumps beneath your eyes Tell me more than stories ever could You are not an etch-a-sketch These marks engraved upon your flesh Are indeed what make me love you [Pre-Chorus] And I want to [Chorus] Read you like a book so Let me take a look Inside your little head 'Cause you don't need to be rewritten If you could only listen I would tell you this You don't need to be fixed [Verse 2] One thing that I know When a heart is always closed No one can get in They just get out So here I am stuck in between
Won't you hold me close and see I will heal you if you show me how [Pre-Chorus] And I want to [Chorus] Read you like a book so Let me take a look Inside your little head 'Cause you don't need to be rewritten If you could only listen I would tell you this You don't need to be fixed [Bridge] And I wish you would notice I would never let you go, never let you go And I wish I could show you It's okay to take it slow Read you like a book so Let me take a look Inside your little head 'Cause you don't need to be [Chorus] Read you like a book so Let me take a look Inside your little head 'Cause you don't need to be rewritten If you could only listen I would tell you this You don't need to be fixed
