THE END

from BRIGHTON by Joe Sorensen

lyrics

I’ve grown tired of writing songs about you
Letting you live inside my head
It was helpful while my heart was hurting
But now there’s nothing left unsaid

This is the end
This is the end

Carving space and asking who I am
Digging in graveyards, giving up control
Chasing shadows and living in airports
You made me better, you left me alone

And this is how heartache goes, fall fast and move on slow
The day comes that we accept the setting sun
Holding on while letting go
We didn’t know the things we didn’t know

I learned more in the aftermath
Than I did along the way
All the same, I’d say I’m grateful
I stayed in Brighton for five whole days

And this is how heartache goes, fall fast and move on slow
The day comes that we accept the setting sun
Holding on while letting go
We didn’t know the things we didn’t know

And I might end up here again
Writing songs when my heart breaks, when something ends
But for now I can say there’s nothing left to say
‘Bout the man in the Mile High State

And I might end up here again
Writing songs when my heart breaks, when something ends
But for now I can say there’s nothing left to say
‘Bout the man in the Mile High State

And this is how heartache goes, fall fast and move on slow
The day comes that we accept the setting sun
Holding on while letting go
We didn’t know the things we didn’t know

And this is how heartache goes, fall fast and move on slow
The day comes that we accept the setting sun
Holding on while letting go
We didn’t know the things we didn’t know

Didn't know the things we didn't know
Didn't know the things we didn't know
Didn't know the things we didn't know
