Steve Wynn - If My Life Was an Open Book 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?
