As It Is – Curtains Close lyrics

[Verse 1]
Forced smiles in picture frames, memories of better days,
And 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.

[Chorus]
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.

[Verse 2]
Yesteryears in coats of blue,
Broken vows once spoken true knowing.
Being torn in two never comes out clean, out clean.

[Chorus]
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.

[Hook]
Every fly till die must see the days,
Beyond the broken hearts.
With the futures [?] of hearts to heal,
To learn to live, be better off apart.

[Bridge]
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.

[Outro]
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)
