Alter The Ending (2019 Version) lyrics - Dashboard Confessional

I know that yesterday is gone and it won't come back to me

But I miss it after all

It never lasted quite as long as I let myself believe

There'll be twists and turns to pull at us, and tear into our seams

But I make up what I broke down, if I can 'cause I miss you

It takes someone you love to alter the ending

Even as they watch you fall apart

Well, I was really lost – sinking and descending

I wasn't even there to break your heart

And now I'm waiting on the sun to clear away the haze

'Cause I can't see where I've gone

From where I started, where I strayed and where I'm meant to be

There'll be ash and dust to bury us, but I will keep you clean

And I'll be there, like I should be in the end

It takes someone you love to alter the ending

Even as they watch you fall apart

And I was really lost – sinking and descending

I wasn't even there to break your heart

And if the chance was mine, I'd take back every time

That I ever pulled away

It takes someone you love to alter the ending

Even as they watch you fall apart

Well, I was really lost – sinking and descending

I wasn't even there to break your heart

And if you'd take me back to what I almost had and the awful mess I made

If second chances count, then I give every ounce and I never pull away
