This Is How It Ends Lyrics

Turn around and look at how far we've come
From two hearts beating like a single drum
Said you'd never lie, I promised I'd never run
Forever wasn't just another word back then
We swore we'd stay together ever after, thick and thin
Now this is how it ends
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e119328-steve_earle~this_is_how_it_ends_lyrics.html ]
Guess I should've seen it coming from the start
Comes to love, the falling is the easy part
Everybody told me you were only gonna break my heart
Been around this lonely world and back again
From the time I found myself a lover and a friend
Now this is how it ends

This is how it ends
If you'd only took me back then
You wouldn't find me in the shape I'm in
Just another fool to trust you again

A fairy tale they tell about a love so strong
Flowing like a river rolling on and on
Come around the bend and I looked around but you were gone
Never saw it coming but you can't pretend
The line between a secret and a lie ain't razor thin
And this is where it ends

This is how it ends
Hand-me-down a dress on a wasted day
Ring in the pocket of a vest of gray
That's the way a cheating song begins
This is how it ends
