Lyrics

From what you whispered
..............................................

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

Happy anniversary darling
We go back a long, long time
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
Start with the ending
Its the best way to begin
Now 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
Now there's no defending
Because no one has to win
Start with the ending
Its the best way to begin
