[Verse 1]
This is the tale, about how I never fail, cause you can’t fail if you never even try
I dream by the day, but my mind gets in the way, so I just wait and stand politely by

[Chorus]
The covers of love stories on the shelves inside my mind are drawn with would-be memories and laced with intricate design,
but to judge a book by cover is a habit of mine, so I put the book back down and I think, I'm doing just fine

[Verse 2]
Stayed in the rough, because I wasn’t good enough, at least thats what I thought inside my head,
I’d list of my doubts, but there’s too many to count, so I go back to doing jack instead

[Verse 3]
I kept to myself, and I left you on the shelf, I saw that you were happy as you are
I knew in the end, I’d rather keep you as a friend, than mess things up by pushing it too far

[Chorus]
The covers of love stories on the shelves inside my mind are drawn with would-be memories and laced with intricate design,
but to judge a book by cover is a habit of mine, so I put the book back down and I think,

[Bridge 1]
Not all fairy tales have happy endings,
and I was never in it for the ride,
and maybe it is time to stop pretending,
that I feel nothing inside

(Instrumental break)

[Chorus]
The covers of love stories on the shelves inside my mind are drawn with would-be memories and laced with intricate design,
but to judge a book by cover is a habit of mine, so I put the book back down and I think,

[Bridge 2]
I know i’m the one in the way of myself, but i don’t really care so darn it to hell
I just feel it might be nice to have something else, but I can’t seem to get past the fact that well
I'd like to think that I don’t judge by looks, But I’ve been hearing talks about the covers of books
so I’m led to believe that maybe it’s all just fiction

[Verse 4]
This is the tale, about how I tend to fail,
by standing by I never seem to act
Sometimes I wish, I could be the bigger fish, go back in time and take my silence back

[Chorus]
The covers of love stories on the shelves inside my mind are drawn with would-be memories and laced with intricate design,
but to judge a book by cover is a habit of mine, so I put the book back down and I think,

[Chorus]
The covers of love stories on the shelves inside my mind are drawn with would-be memories and laced with intricate design,
and to judge a book by cover is a habit of mine, but I pick the book back up and I think, maybe I’ll give it a try
