I take down the paintings
The walls never looked so clean
Remember when we walked in
It was the middle of eighteen
Sunbeams cut through the window
Light up the floating memories
A silence so hollow
Say something, please
We built a house of cards
And called it home
Until it was blown away
What was ours
Is now mine and yours
Where do we go from here
Tell me is this the end
Or can we go back instead
Is this the very end
Is this what forever meant
Are we too late
Or can we start over again
Is this the very end
Don't you feel empty
Like these rooms
It started so pretty
Now it ends with wilting blooms
The promises made
The lost serenades
All left behind, all in vain
What we built through the years
All about to disappear
Where do we go from here
Tell me is this the end
Or can we go back instead
Is this the very end
Is this what forever meant
Are we too late
Can we start over again
Is this the very end
We're in the homestretch
Except there's no home left
The last box is loaded
It ends where we started
I shut the door
On faint echoes
And drive away
And hope someday
Something better
Finds its way to us
Tell me is this the end
Or can we go back instead
This is the very end
Are we too late
Or can we start over again
This is the end
Is this what forever meant
Tell me is this the end
Or can we start over again
Is this the very end
Is this what forever meant
