The Writer Lyrics

One look at my reflection

I see my eyes have changed

Even ripples on the lake

Flow the other way

And I don't know if it's the epiphany

That leaving you was the best thing

Whatever the reason

My lungs take in the cleanest breath they've had all season

For the first time since December

The breeze is lighter

For the first time since disaster

My smile is brighter

Rip up old pages of the past

Throw them out

Pick up the pen of the present

Look around

The script is so much better when

I'm the writer

Every face I pass by

Is contagiously kind

Our moods so in sync I bet

They can read my mind

And I don't know if it's the clarity

'Cause leaving you was the best thing

Whatever the reason

My soul takes in the perspective I've been needing

For the first time since December

The breeze is lighter

For the first time since disaster

My smile is brighter

Rip up old pages of the past

Throw them out

Pick up the pen of the present

Look around

The script is so much better when

I'm the writer

I was reinventing my scenes

As we grew apart

So one day I could cross your path

And not fall apart

Eye to eye with my new reflection

And there's no question

For the first time since December

The breeze is lighter

For the first time since disaster

My smile is brighter

Rip up old pages of the past

Throw them out

Pick up the pen of the present

Look around

The script is so much better when

I'm the writer

This song is one long love letter

To the writer

To the writer

To the writer
