[Verse 1]
I tried to pick it up
Where I last left the story
But as I turned the pages
It was missing more of me

You took out my moment of glory
You said the word, but didn’t seem sorry

A year has gone by
And you’ve left me to wait for that
Climax that asks
Just if I’m doing well

You said your hands hurt from the typing
But it’s for others that you have been writing

[Chorus]
I’m still holding on
To that first chapter
That promised so much, yes it did

I’m still clinging to
That first draft you drew
You said wasn’t ready to be seen

So give me a role and write me a line
The more that you give me
The more I’m alive

[Verse 2]
I tried to pick it up
Where I last left the story
But If I don’t inspire you
There’s something you can do for me

Don’t leave me waiting for an ending
You artists are so good at pretending

[Chorus]
I’m still holding on
To that first chapter
That promised so much, yes it did

I’m still clinging to
That first draft you drew
You said wasn’t ready to be seen

So give me a role and write me a line
You’re quite the poet, hey, make me a rhyme
I can’t be that hard do describe
The more that you give me, the more I’m alive
