HOW IT STARTS

(That's how it starts when it ends) She put clothes in a suitcase, I put Jack in a soda She got the TV and I got the sofa And it hit me for the first time, which one of us gets our friends? I guess that's how it starts when it ends (That's how it starts when it ends) Lot of quiet in the livin' room, no red wine in the kitchen Lot of space in this king-size, a lot of somethin' missin' And I'm stuck here getting used to no sleep and an empty bed I guess that's how it starts When it ends It's hell on a heart It's long, lonely nights in the neon dark Whole lot of hole-in-the-wall dive bars Yeah, I guess that's how it starts When it ends It's hidin' the hard Swearin' you're fine, and knowin' you aren't It's a whole lot of fallin' apart If that's how it starts when it ends, hell, I hope it don't end how it starts (Hope it don't end how it starts) Just when I think I'm on the backside of hurtin' One of those songs comes on, and the whiskey stops workin' And I'm right back at square one, my movin' on don't come undone again I guess that's how it starts When it ends It's hell on a heart It's long, lonely nights in the neon dark Whole lot of hole-in-the-wall dive bars Yeah, I guess that's how it starts When it ends It's hidin' the hard Swearin' you're fine, and knowin' you aren't It's a whole lot of fallin' apart If that's how it starts when it ends, hell, I hope it don't end how it starts Hell, I hope I'll stay this broken Hope it gets to goin' better than it's goin' Yeah, I hope, yeah, I hope, yeah, I hope I ain't always hopin' Yeah-yay When it ends It's hell on a heart It's long, lonely nights in the neon dark Whole lot of hole-in-the-wall dive bars Yeah, I guess that's how it starts When it ends It's hidin' the hard Swearin' you're fine, and knowin' you aren't It's a whole lot of fallin' apart If that's how it starts when it ends, hell, I hope it don't end how it starts
