This Is How It Ends Lyrics - Steve Earle

Turn around and look at how far we've come 

Two hearts beatin' like a single drum 

Said you'd never lie and I promised I'd never run 

Forever wasn't just another word back then 

We swore we'd stay together ever after, thick and thin 

Now this is how it ends 

Guess I should have seen it comin' from the start 

Comes to love then fallin' is the easy part 

Everybody told me you were only gonna break my heart 

Been around this lonely world and back again 

From the time I found myself a lover and a friend 

Now this is how it ends

This is how it ends 

If you'd only told me back then 

You wouldn't find me in the shape I'm in 

Just another fool to trust you again 

A fairytale they tell about a love so strong 

Flowin' like a river rollin' on and on 

Come around the bend and I looked around but you were gone 

Never saw it comin' but you can't pretend 

The line between a secret and a lie ain't razor thin 

Now this is where it ends

This is how it ends 

Hand me down dress on a wasted day 

Ring in the pocket of a vest of gray 

That's the way a cheatin' song begins 

This is how it ends
