The Ever After

I'm going up to face our ever after
And come to terms with what's been on your mind
I'm going through a pile of missing answers
That neither of us ever meant to find
Cause this is how you break a heart
You start by breaking in
And leaving everything in place
And leaving everything
And this is how you shatter it
You resonate within
In that suspended harmony
That would have made it sing

I'm going up to find the missing laughter
That always told me somehow we'd be fine
I'm going up to face our ever after
And face that yours might no longer be mine
And this is how you break a heart
You start by breaking in
And leaving everything in place
Just leaving everything
But this is how you fix the heart
You go where hope is thin
You prove that something left to lose
Means something left to win

I'm going up to face our ever after
To show you how we both might make it through
I'm owning an unqualified disaster
To prove that I'm not blaming it on you
Cause this is how you break a heart
You start by breaking in
And leaving everything in place
Just leaving everything
It's also how you fix the heart
You slip under the skin
So show me where things fell apart
And that's where I'll begin

Cause this is how you break a heart
You start by breaking in
And leaving everything in place
Just leaving everything
But this is how you tend to it
You mend it from within
So take me to our bitter end
And that's where we'll begin

I'm going up to face what you've been after
To own up to what's been wrong all this time
I'm going up to face our ever after
