Invisible Ink Lyrics

There's a lot about this song that sounds like a break-up. She's trying to communicate to her ex that she wants to try again and he's not getting it or he's not interested.

"What some take from magic at first glance is just slight of hand depending on what you believe" Love at first sight may be how she sees it and she's never lost that, but the ex sees different.

"But nobody wants to hear this tale The plot is cliche the jokes are stale and baby we've all heard it all before oh i could guess this selfish thought nobody needs a catalog with details of love I can't sell anymore" She's missing her ex for a long, long time. She's told everybody about it and done everything she can to get him back. It's not working and it's old. No one wants to hear anymore. Joking about it's not funny. Nobody cares but her.
