from What You Whispered
|
..............................................
|
|
The secret of a happy marriage,
|
maybe you should write this down
|
If you want to keep a love together,
|
the best way is to end it now
|
Because when you both know its over,
|
suddenly the truth comes out
|
You can talk about your secret passion,
|
you can talk about your restless doubt
|
|
When there's no pretending,
|
then the truth is safe to say,
|
Start with the ending,
|
get it out of the way
|
Now there's no defending,
|
because no one has to win
|
Start with the ending,
|
its the best way to begin
|
|
After you have both decided,
|
you were missing something that you need
|
The ways that you were too short-sighted,
|
get easier for you to see
|
And after all the expectations
|
shatter on the kitchen floor
|
You just see another human suffering,
|
and you wonder what the war was for
|
|
When there's no pretending,
|
then the truth is safe to say,
|
Start with the ending,
|
get it out of the way
|
Now there's no defending,
|
because no one has to win
|
Start with the ending,
|
its the best way to begin
|
|
Happy anniversary darling,
|
we go back a long, long time
|
I think about our lives together,
|
I'm so grateful you are here in mine
|
And I know you'll keep on changing,
|
you're moving in this dance with me
|
I love the way we embrace the future
|
and keep the past a memory
|
|
So there's no defending
|
that the old ways could remain
|
We start with the ending
|
and things will never be the same
|
Now there's no defending,
|
because no one has to win
|
Start with the ending,
|
its the best way to begin
|
Now there's no pretending,
|
then the truth is safe to say,
|
Start with the ending,
|
get it out of the way
|
Now there's no defending,
|
because no one has to win
|
Start with the ending,
|
its the best way to begin
|
Now there's no defending,
|
because no one has to win
|
Start with the ending,
|
its the best way to begin
|
