Songtext Writing a better story Carrie Newcomer

Writing a better story

I’m writing a new ending
With a better story line
Turn the page and leave the blanks
With a plot that’s less defined.
And though I won't get back
A day of stolen time
I could go to bed at night
With a better story line

Leave that what can’t be changed in the past
Let the old house burn down
And the wind scatter the ash
Forgive myself for all the broken glass
For what I didn’t know how to say or ask

I’m writing a new ending
With a better story line
Turn the page and leave the blanks
With a plot that’s less defined.
And though I won't get back
A day of stolen time
I could go to bed at night
With a better story line
Here’s the scene when I lost my map
When the breadcrumbs blew away
And there was no way back
Just the compass of my heart
to find the path
Seen only dark, flash to
lighting flash

I’m writing a new ending
With a better story line
Turn the page and leave the blanks
With a plot that’s less defined.
And though I won't get back
A day of stolen time
I could go to bed at night
With a better story line

There are stories shaped like stones
The ones our hearts have always know
The ones we finally call our own
Down where the spirit meets the bone

I'm ending where another story starts
At the edges I can grow, even when their razor sharp.
I'm grateful for the words that I bookmarked,
Before I really knew, I'd need them for this part

I’m writing a new ending
With a better story line
Turn the page and leave the blanks
With a plot that’s less defined.
And though I won't get back
A day of stolen time
I could go to bed at night
With a better story line
