[Verse 1]
Forced smiles in picture frames
Memories of better days
All these white walls that look so dark at night
Scared kids sit on the couch
Mum and dad take final bows
And their hearts break as the chapter reads its end, its end

[Chorus 1]
Looking for an answer, the house lights rise
Wishing for an ending that's not goodbye
We watch the curtains close on all we've known
We watch the curtains close on all we've known

[Verse 2]
Yesteryears in coats of blue
Broken vows once spoken true knowing
Being torn in two never comes out clean, out clean

[Chorus 1]
Looking for an answer, the house lights rise
Wishing for an ending that's not goodbye
We watch the curtains close on all we've known
We watch the curtains close on all we've known

[Bridge]
Every flooded eye will see the days
Beyond the broken hearts
With the futures that have had to heal
To learn to live and be better off apart
[Chorus 2]
Looking for an answer, the house lights rise
Wishing for an ending that's not goodbye
We watch the curtains close on all we've known
We watch the curtains close on all we've known

It doesn't always matter how hard we try
Sometimes the only ending is just goodnight
We watch the curtains close on all we've known
(Learn to live and be better off apart)
We watch the curtains close on all we've known
(Learn to live and be better off)
