Lyrics

The waiter brought our favorite brand of wine
You tasted it just like you?ve always done
You nodded your approval
And smiled like you used to
When you and I were used to having fun
But something?s not the same here anymore
You hardly touched a mouthful of your meal
And as we drove on back, well
I could tell something was cracking
In that wall you built around the way you feel

YOU LAUGH TOO LOUD
YOU HUG TOO TIGHT
YOU?RE STILL AWAKE
TOO LATE AT NIGHT
YOUR EYES DENY
YOUR LIPS PRETEND
THERE?S A MILLION LITTLE THINGS
THAT MEAN THE END

We cozied on the couch to watch TV
As usual, you dozed off to the news
It?s an old familiar scene
And I went into my routine
I turned the volume down and helped slip off your shoes
But deep down in those dreams you keep inside
I fear I might be slowly losing ground
And something in me shuddered
When I saw your eyelids flutter
And I wondered just how long I?d be around

CHORUS

What was that you whispered to your sister on the phone?
When your lips whisper my heart wants to shout
And why do I go driving past your office in the rain
When that?s a pain that I can do without?

Later when we slipped between the sheets
You made love like you?d always be with me
But as the night grew still
And I felt teardrops on your pillow
I was glad the darkness wouldn?t let me see

CHORUS

THERE?S A MILLION LITTLE THINGS
THAT MEAN THE END
