TOLEDO - How It Ends

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The lights of Virginia
Are too bright to stand
So she's walking home
With a new life in her hands
Past the dead end streets
And run down plans
She's got a good one
To follow a man
She swears that he's different
He's not like the rest
He sings in the kitchen
He's good with the kids

[Pre-Chorus]
A few good years, then it starts to hit
She put it all in, but he's calling it quits

[Chorus]
So I've given up on believing
That everybody gets a chance
And I don't understand
Why she does it to herself
When she knows how it ends

[Verse 2]
Still, I wouldn't trade it
This thing that we do
Just know
It's a feeling that I never knew
I'm slow
But you're patiently walking me through
When we talk
In the dark of your room
I try to be in it
And cry, but I can't
You just cut me open
Saying that’s what I am

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm betting my fate on a line in your hand
It finally feels like a good place to land

[Chorus]
But I've grown up on the feeling
Of falling to my knees again
So I don't understand
Why we do it to ourselves
When we know how it ends
