If a sculpture were to shatter Is there beauty in the memory? Baby, tell me would it matter If you're happier, but after me? Does loving someone ever go? Does it need to end for you To ever even really know? All I know is when you're with me That's right where I should be Why are we waiting for the ending? Turning the page before we've read it Baby, don't cry Goodbye isn't real Why don't we dance around the exit Until the music fades away? At least at the curtain call, we'll say That we tried, we tried, we tried I wasn't anticipating When I kissed you on new year's eve We'd go from strangers to dating To three words that I've heard but never received Tell me, does it matter That when you said that you loved me Immediate reaction was to ask you what does love mean (what does love mean?) If it's what I'm feeling right now That's all we really need, oh Why are we waiting for the ending? (Oh) Turning the page before we've read it Baby, don't cry Goodbye isn't real Why don't we dance around the exit (ah-oh) Until the music fades away? At least at the curtain call, we'll say That we tried, we tried, we tried We tried, we tried, we tried, oh After all the sunsets In three more years we'll meet back here If we can't find our duet The notes we write could reappear If you've found someone else's hand to hold Call it bittersweet It won't be exact But they'll have what I had Why are we waiting for the ending? Turning the page before we've read it Baby, don't cry Goodbye isn't real Why don't we dance around the exit Until the music fades away? At least at the curtain call, we'll say That we tried, we tried, we tried (Okay)
