Lyrics

[Verse 1]

This is the end of every song that we sing

The fire burned out to ash and the stars grown dim with tears

Cold and afraid, the ghosts of all that we’ve been

We toast, with bitter dregs, to our emptiness

[Verse 2]

And the birds falling out of our skies

And the words falling out of our minds

And here is to love, so much love

Falling out of our lives

Hopes and dreams are gone

The end of every song

[Chorus]

And it all stops

We were always sure that we would never change

And it all stops

Wе were always sure that wе would stay the same

But it all stops

And we close our eyes to sleep

To dream a boy and girl

Who dream the world is nothing but a dream

[Outro]

Where did it go?

Where did it go?

Broken voiced lament to call us home

This is this end of every song we sing

Where did it go?

Where did it go?

Where did it go?

Where did it go?

Broken voiced lament to call us home

This is the end of every song we sing

Alone
