Every love that claims me
Tells me I’m the first, and last
Maybe so for a moment
But what was now has now passed
And you’ve made yourself a liar
So you set your words on fire
In the flames your letters cast
The alphabet never got so hot
Than when you said your love was not
Who can say what pages are meant to be turned
When love is only a chapter in the book of life
But even though the leaf has flipped
The story remains
By the transparent graces of the paper
I can still read it backwards
Now the beginning is the end
And I’ve never loved at all
