Lyric discussion by loversdreamersandme 

"We sat and made a list of all the things that we have. Down the backs of table tops, ticket stubs and your diaries. I read them all one day when loneliness came and you were away. Oh they told me nothing new, but I love to read the words you used."

I find this verse to be romantic and so full of love. He reads her diaries not to find out her secrets for she had already shared all her secrets with him. He read them because she was gone, he was lonely, missing her and longing for her company and only to find solace in diary entries of her stories that he has already heard.

and only found solace*

@loversdreamersandme I totally agree. He could also mean with "but I love to read the words you used" that they are not talking any longer but he just loved anything she said, no matter what it was about. This is really romantic...
