[Intro]
Ooo, yeah, oh, oh
Oh, yeah

[Verse 1]
Hey, she put a pen to my heart and wrote down her name, yeah
And ever since then, my life just ain't been the same, no
She left a mark with every word that she wrote
Well, maybe I should've know who she was

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause she had me at A Once Upon A Time
And all at once, she blew my mind and broke my heart into pieces
I didn't know I was just a character
Another chapter in the works
Another victim of her words

[Chorus]
'Cause she was the writer
She was the star
Yeah, she was the writer
And she wrote off my heart
And I knew because when I said I loved her, that's when she found another
And that's how, that's how, that's how the story goes

[Verse 2]
She wrote me into her life so late in the book
And so by the end of the paragraph, I was so sure
Oh, I didn't know I was living by day to day, page to page
What a shame, yeah
I was just a footnote in her game
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause she had me at A Once Upon A Time
And all at once, she blew my mind and broke my heart into pieces
I didn't know I was just a character
Another chapter in the works
Another victim of her words

[Chorus]
Oh, 'cause she was the writer
She was the star
Yeah, she was the writer
And she wrote off my heart
And I knew because when I said I loved her, that's when she found another
And that's how, that's how, that's how the story goes

[Bridge]
It goes on and on and on
But for me, it all went wrong
And that's how, that's how the story goes
It goes on and on and on
But for me, it didn't last too long
And now our time's over and gone

[Chorus]
'Cause she was the writer
She was the star (She was the star)
She was the writer
And she wrote off my heart (She wrote it off)
And I knew because when I said I loved her, that's when she found another (She found another)
And that's how, that's how, that's how the story goes
[Outro]
That's how it goes, yeah
Ooh, it goes on and on, ooh
