Start With The Ending Lyrics - David Wilcox

Secret of a happy marriage 

Maybe you should write this down 

You wanna keep a love together 

The best way is to end it now 

When you both know it's over 

Suddenly the truth comes out 

You can talk about your secret passion 

You can talk about your restless doubt 

When there's no pretending 

Then the truth is safe to say 

Start with the ending 

Get it out of the way 

Now, there's no defending 

Because no one has to win 

Start with the ending 

It's the best way to begin 

It's the best way to begin 

After you have both decided 

You were missing something that you need 

The ways that you were too short sighted 

Get easier for you to see 

After all the expectations 

Shatter on the kitchen floor 

You just see another human suffering 

And wonder what the war was for 

When there's no pretending 

Then the truth is safe to say 

Start with the ending 

Get it out of the way 

Now, there's no defending 

Because no one has to win 

Start with the ending 

It's the best way to begin 

It's the best way, best way to begin 

Happy anniversary, darling 

We go back a long, long time 

I think about our lives together 

So grateful you are here in mine 

And I know you'll keep on changing 

You're moving in this dance with me 

I love the way we embrace the future 

And keep the past a memory 

So, there's no defending 

That the old ways could remain 

We start with the ending 

And things will never be the same 

But now, there's no defending 

So that no one has to win 

Start with the ending 

It's the best way to begin 

It's the best way to begin 

No defending 

The truth is safe to say 

Start with the ending 

Get it out of the way 

No defending 

No one has to win 

We start with the ending 

It's the best way to begin 

It's the best way to begin 

Now, there's no defending 

No one has to win 

We start with the ending 

It's the best way, the best way to begin 

Begin, begin 

It's the best way to begin
