Surprise Ending

I said I knew
You before you were born
You were waiting by the door
The link that holds us forged
Like nothing came before

I said I would
Be with you all your days
Dry you from the rain
Like a first taste of champagne
Nothing could be the same

You're still real to me
I'm devolving piece by piece
Moving inexorably
To this surprise ending

I said I'd help
I couldn't and broke down
With friends circled around
So much sorrow I almost drowned
Nothingness replaced the ground

Memories are reality
Now silence holds lease
Moving so suddenly
To this surprise ending

You're still real to me
I'm devolving piece by piece
Moving inexorably
To this surprise ending

My mind gets lost
In eleven years gone by
Hills we had to climb
The roads we had to drive
In the end always surprise

They say to let it be
And there's peace time will bring
But it's always been you and me
Until this surprise ending

You're still real to me
I'm devolving piece by piece
Moving inexorably
To this surprise ending

Memories are reality
Now silence holds lease
Moving so suddenly
To this surprise ending

They say to let it be
And there's peace time will bring
But it's always been you and me
Until this surprise ending
