Was I just the setup before the payoff?
Darlin', what was I to you? (Ooh)
A piece of the story, but never the main part
A shadow of somebody new
You should've seen the happy ever after (ooh)
But you're movin' on while I still feel the same
Oh, I'm just a page in the book of your life
But you were the title of mine
I'm stuck in a chapter that you left behind
Readin' between all the lines
Like, were we ever real?
And did you ever feel a fraction of what I felt for you?
Oh, I'm just a page in the book of your life
But you were the title of
You were the title of mine
Was I just a story? Fiction or fable?
I'll be whatever you choose (ooh)
Am I just a memory or a love from a past life?
Darling, regardless, I lose
You should've seen the happy ever after (ever after), but nothing matters
Now that you're gone, I'll never be the same
Oh, I'm just a page in the book of your life
But you were the title of mine
And I'm stuck in a chapter that you left behind
Readin' between all the lines
Like, were we ever real? (Were we ever real?)
And did you ever feel a fraction of what I felt for you?
Oh, I'm just a page in the book of your life
But you were the title of
You were the title of mine
I'm closin' the book while you're closin' the chapter
I know the look, ain't no happy ever after
I'm closin' the book while you're closin' the chapter
But you were the title of
You were the title of mine
