lyrics

FOR AN ENDING

For a sunrise, you know
This is not what I
Had in mind. I’m…
Holding on to you but
Now my arms are getting
Tired, and my
Strength just won’t survive ---

For a story, you know
This is not what I
Thought I’d find
The worthy die young and their
Killer’s may survive
Being nice won’t save you, being
Honest means you won’t mind ---


Oooh oooh oooh oh

For an ending, you know
This is not what I
Had in mind
But for a moment there
I held on, then I
Let you go, and you
Let me go too.
