🎵 Boys in the Books (draft)
Verse 1
Every page, another face,
Every line, another lie I chase.
They’re written perfect, they never fall,
They say the words I wish I heard at all.
Pre-Chorus
The real ones stumble, the real ones leave,
But paper hearts never deceive.
If I can’t find them in this world I know,
At least in the stories, I’m never alone.
Chorus
I’ll just fall for the boys in the books,
The heroes who don’t know a thing about me.
Living in pages, in all the best looks,
They’re safe where my heart can still dream.
Verse 2
Candlelight and midnight skies,
I underline the perfect lines.
They never falter, they never fade,
They stay the same as the day they were made.
Pre-Chorus
The real ones stumble, the real ones lie,
But in the books they never say goodbye.
If happily-ever-afters don’t come true,
At least in the stories, I still get you.
Chorus
I’ll just fall for the boys in the books,
The heroes who don’t know a thing about me.
Living in pages, in all the best looks,
They’re safe where my heart can still dream.
Bridge
Maybe it’s foolish, maybe it’s wrong,
But their words are the lyrics I’ve needed all along.
If I can’t find love where the daylight’s real,
I’ll keep chasing the ones I can’t feel.
Final Chorus
I’ll just fall for the boys in the books,
The heroes who don’t know a thing about me.
Living in pages, in all the best looks,
They’re safe where my heart can still dream.
Safe where my heart can still dream…
