So is this how it ends? A wave in the night
As you're driving in your car
Left at the bend, then two taillights
Shrinking slowly in
The dark, the dark
Take me back to the start
Before, before
All the lies that we swore
When there's so much to say
But it won't matter anyway
No you're not, you're not
Ever my afterthought
As I look behind, at your face glowing red
I fake a smile just a little too hard
& run every line of words that you said
Hits me flying through
The dark, the dark
Take me back to the start
Before, before
All the lies that we swore
When there's so much to say
But it won't matter anyway
No you're not, you're not
Ever my afterthought
When I saw you at the party, when you asked me for the time
When you held me in the morning, when you kissed me in the night
When I'm crying in the doorway, when I'm begging please don't go
When you're driving down the highway, when I never even know
So is this how it ends? Halfway from home
I guess they say it happens that far
Followed the bend right off the road
Sirens ringing in
The dark, the dark
Take me back to the start
Before, before
All the lies that we swore
When there's so much to say
But it won't matter anyway
No you're not, you're not
Ever my afterthought
