This Is How We Like To End
This is how we like to end
Takes a moment to begin
Time to leave the book behind
And turn the pages of the tide
Plant the memories in a safe place
'Til they grow into an embrace
Then the branches start to bend
This is how we like to end
This is how we like to live
Sometimes it takes so much to give
Sometimes we're broke 'til we learn
We blame the world until it turns
But is that how the magic started?
Or is this how we're broken hearted?
Is this what it takes to try?
We don't always get to win
This is how we like to end
So put your conscience in this cradle
And let it live until we're able
And it's not up to you and me
It's just how we like to mend
This is how we like to end
And this is how we learn to breathe
And it's not up to you and me
Takes a moment to begin
This is how we like to end
This is how we live life
This is how we say goodbye
We can't say it by ourselves
So we tell it to a friend
This is how we like to end
