| The secret of a happy marriage,
|
| maybe you should write this down
|
| If you want to keep a love together,
|
| the best way is to end it now
|
| Because when you both know its over,
|
| suddenly the truth comes out
|
| You can talk about your secret passion,
|
| you can talk about your restless doubt
|
| When there’s no pretending,
|
| then the truth is safe to say,
|
| Start with the ending,
|
| get it out of the way
|
| Now there’s no defending,
|
| because no one has to win
|
| Start with the ending,
|
| its the best way to begin
|
| After you have both decided,
|
| you were missing something that you need
|
| The ways that you were too short-sighted,
|
| get easier for you to see
|
| And after all the expectations
|
| shatter on the kitchen floor
|
| You just see another human suffering,
|
| and you wonder what the war was for
|
| When there’s no pretending,
|
| then the truth is safe to say,
|
| Start with the ending,
|
| get it out of the way
|
| Now there’s no defending,
|
| because no one has to win
|
| Start with the ending,
|
| its the best way to begin
|

| I think about our lives together,
|
| I’m so grateful you are here in mine
|
| And I know you’ll keep on changing,
|
| you’re moving in this dance with me I love the way we embrace the future
|
| and keep the past a memory
|
| So there’s no defending
|
| that the old ways could remain
|
| We start with the ending
|
| and things will never be the same
|
| Now there’s no defending,
|
| because no one has to win
|
