This Is How It Ends

(album: So You Wannabe An Outlaw - 2017)

Turn around and look at how far we've come
Two hearts beating like a single drum
Said you'd never lie and I promised I'd never run
Forever wasn't just another word back then
We swore we'd stay together ever after, thick and thin
Now this is how it ends

Guess I should have seen it coming from the start
Comes to love then falling is the easy part
Everybody told me you were only gonna break my heart
Been around this lonely world and back again
From the time I found myself a lover and a friend
Now this is how it ends

This is how it ends
If you'd only told me back then
You wouldn't find me in the shape I'm in
Just another fool to trust you again

A fairytale they tell about a love so strong
Flowing like a river rolling on and on
Come around the bend and I looked around but you were gone
Never saw it coming but you can't pretend
The line between a secret and a lie ain't razor thin
Now this is where it ends

This is how it ends
Hand me down dress on a wasted day
Ring in the pocket of a vest of gray
That's the way a cheating song begins
This is how it ends
