How It Ends

All those nights you wouldn’t dance with me

You spent the whole time smoking

And avoiding all my friends

I should have known then

Down at the bottom, sitting in the car

You left me on the hilltop

To mourn alone the passing of my friend

I should have known then

I should have known then

All of the love could never be enough

To cover up the ugly and the sad

But honey if I could, I’d cover up the good

Cause even when it was bad, you were the best I’ve ever had

You came in crying, swore you needed God

Said it broke your heart to go

But I was in your way

There’s nothing left to say

So many lies that all begin this way. A home with a garden, and “I’m yours forever darling” But you wrote the same old story in another woman’s bed Just like all the other men I should have known then

All of the love could never be enough

To cover up the ugly and the sad

But honey if I could, I’d cover up the good

Even when it was bad, you were the best I’ve ever had

Now I know how it ends

But I should have known then
