As It Is - Curtains Close lyrics

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 Mom 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, 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) We watch the curtains close on all we’ve known (Learn to live and be better off)
