I'm so afraid of the mistakes that I've made
Breaking every time that I wake
I feel like a cardboard and cut-out man
So give me a time when the characters rhyme
And the storyline is kind
I've aged an age since the first page
I've lived every line that you wrote
Take me down, take me down, from the shelf above your head
And give me a time when the characters rhyme
And the storyline is kind
And if I am left on the shelf like the rest
And if the epilogue reads like a sad song
Please pick-up your camera and use me again
And give me a time when the characters rhyme
And the storyline is kind
