Curtains Close - As It Is

Forced smiles in picture frames

Memories of better days

All these white walls that look so dark at night

Scared kids sit on the couch

Mum and dad take final bows

And their hearts break as the chapter reads its end, its end

Looking for an answer, the house lights rise

Wishing for an ending that’s not goodbye

We watch the curtains close on all we’ve known

We watch the curtains close on all we’ve known

Yesteryears in coats of blue

Broken vows once spoken true knowing

Being torn in two never comes out clean, out clean

Looking for an answer, the house lights rise

Wishing for an ending that’s not goodbye

We watch the curtains close on all we’ve known

We watch the curtains close on all we’ve known

Every flooded eye will see the days

Beyond the broken hearts

With the futures that have had to heal

To learn to live and be better off apart

Looking for an answer, the house lights rise

Wishing for an ending that’s not goodbye

We watch the curtains close on all we’ve known

We watch the curtains close on all we’ve known

It doesn’t always matter how hard we try

Sometimes the only ending is just goodnight

We watch the curtains close on all we’ve known

(Learn to live and be better off apart)

We watch the curtains close on all we’ve known

(Learn to live and be better off)
