Lyrics Start With the Ending - David Wilcox

Start With the Ending

Secret of a happy marriage
Maybe you should write this down
You wanna keep a love together
The best way is to end it now
When you both know it’s 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
It’s the best way to begin
It’s 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
After all the expectations
Shatter on the kitchen floor
You just see another human suffering
And 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
It’s the best way to begin
It’s the best way, best way to begin
Happy anniversary, darling
We go back a long, long time
I think about our lives together
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
But now, there’s no defending
So that no one has to win
Start with the ending
It’s the best way to begin
It’s the best way to begin
No defending
The truth is safe to say
Start with the ending
Get it out of the way
No defending
No one has to win
We start with the ending
It’s the best way to begin
It’s the best way to begin
Now, there’s no defending
No one has to win
We start with the ending
It’s the best way, the best way to begin
Begin, begin
It’s the best way to begin
