Beginning (Not the End)

Collect all the broken pieces
Gather the memories one by one
Put all of the photographs into a box
That proves you're done

We've all had defining moments
We've all had our hearts torn from our chest
If time makes the heart grow fonder
What lets your heart get over this?

Love is patient, love is kind
But not always the first time

You fall then you break, that's all that it takes
To make up your mind to hold out for next time
You breathe in the change, till you feel love again
The end's the beginning not the end

Forget all the well-placed damage
Let go of the shadows left behind
The footprints of love's sweet carnage
Slips further behind you with the time

Love is good, love never fails
But leaves you behind to tell the tale

You fall then you break, that's all that it takes
To make up your mind to hold out for next time
You breathe in the change, till you feel love again
The end's the beginning not the end

You're never gonna understand
The mysteries of love and man
No matter how you break your neck to try

You live, you love, you lose control
You hold on tight, you let it go
You never understand the reasons why
You're the one that's left behind

You fall then you break, that's all that it takes
To make up your mind to hold out for next time
You breathe in the change, till you feel love again
The end's the beginning not the end

You fall then you break, that's all that it takes
To make up your mind to hold out for next time
You breathe in the change, till you feel love again
The end's the beginning not the end
