HOW THE STORY ENDS
So, this is how the story ends
Leaving you
The stories and the streetlights
Are far from new
I wish I had another year
In my newfound home
But the rain has to come down
For us to grow
So hug me 'fore I leave
'Cause I'm crying on my knees
Asking for one more day
To appreciate the time
Where I could call you "mine"
Before our great escape
I will always love the way I hear your heart
Beating late at night
I will always love the way you let me stand
Up into the light
You had all the answers
Just had to live and breathe and love
And be myself to find
The story's always been mine…
So, this is how the story ends
With a grateful heart
The sweetest kiss and bitter tears
We'll be so far apart
I wish I had another page
But the chapter's closed
And what we're doing next year
Well, nobody knows
But I'll replay in my dreams
All the nights we didn't sleep
Instead smashed off a bottom-shelf
Bottle of white
Saying we'll be friends forever
Until the end of time
Oh, I will always love the way I hear your heart
Beating late at night
I will always love the way you let me stand
Up into the light
You had all the answers
Just had to live and breathe and love
And be myself to find
The story's always been mine…
But, some day we'll meet again
In an unsuspecting, unexpected way
And we'll reminisce the life we had
And how those times have changed
And you'll say you missed me and those memories
You didn't realise would fade
I'll say that's growing up, it's looking around
And realising nothing remains
'Cause it's all gone with age
So, this is how the story ends
A final bow
If you listened to these songs
Just know that I am proud
'Cause they helped me to find
The child lost inside
So he could learn how to love himself and escape
So he could celebrate
Oh, I learned how to celebrate
