How can it end?
Refrain

Where do all the dreams return
When they melt away?
Where do all the broken hearted songs
Stop singing
And resign themselves to fate?
Why did you go
Though we were running freely
Through open meadows of fire and waterfalls?
I thought we'd always last
In this story we brought into being

Now all I am is leaving me so slowly
I'll never understand why I'm lonely
We once had it all
It only comes in my mind in shattered little frames
All of the times my heart hears you name
I loved you
I loved you in my universe

Long Version


How can it end?
Refrain
I can't amend this pain...

Where do all the dreams return
When they melt away?
Where do all the broken hearted songs
Stop singing
And resign themselves to fate?
Why did you go
Though we were running freely
Through open meadows of fire and waterfalls?
I thought we'd always last
In this story we brought into being

Now all I am is leaving me so slowly
I'll never understand why I'm lonely
We once had it all
It only comes in my mind in shattered little frames
All of the times my heart hears you name
I loved you
I loved you in my universe

How can it end?
Refrain
I can't amend this pain...

I can't undo the years
I was living in the sunlight
The way your hands would lead
I was the loveliest thing
That you could hold
How did we know this love
Would've had end up conquering
Our hearts in the blinding
On anywhere to start?

I can't undo the years
I was living in the sunlight
The way your hands would lead
I was the loveliest thing
That you could hold
How did we know this love
Would've had end up conquering
Our hearts in the blinding
On anywhere to start?

How can it end?
Refrain
I can't amend this pain...
