how could it end? (acoustic)

I keep trying to find

The words in the pictures

The gleam in your eye

That never existed

Maybe that's why

I'm here, busy missing you

When you don't even give a thought to me

I keep trying to touch

The floor of the ocean

It's easier to let it go

And leave it in the open

Maybe if I know

What we were, I'll see why

It was never meant to be

All we were was

The echo of a love song

That never began

The words on your tongue

That die as soon as they land

So how could it end, how could it end

How could it end, how could it end?

Now I'm trying to fold

Questions into a letter

If I send my thoughts away

My head might get better

But I'll live alone

With the emptiness

Of never knowing why

I couldn't have you mine

I mapped out a place

That I've never visited

Sketched out your entire heart

No place for me in it

If I'd insisted

Maybe you'd have stuck

And what we had wouldn't be listed

As

The echo of a love song

That never began

The words on your tongue

That die as soon as they land

So how could it end, how could it end

How could it end, how could it end?

The last page of a novel

That never was written

The breaking of a rule

That was never forbidden

So how could it end, how could it end

If it never begun?

If I was never the one

Oh

Took no steps forward

A million steps back

Erased an empty page

And left it at that

White on a canvas and

Mops on clean floors

Nothing can't turn

Into anything more
