Alter the Ending (Acoustic) Lyrics by Dashboard Confessional

Alter the Ending

2009

I know that yesterday is gone
And it won't come back to me
But I miss it after all
It never really lasts as long
As it meant for it to be
Well the twists and turns
They're pulling us and tearing to the seams
But I'll meet you where we started once again
'Cause I miss you
Maybe we were right to carry on, to carry on
Even when they said we'd be undone
Take it as a sign we can still go on, we still belong
Even when the worst is yet to come
We're only waiting on the sun
To clear away the haze
'Cause we can't see where we've gone
From where we started, where we strayed
And where we're meant to be
There'll be ash and dust to bury us
But I will keep you clean
And I'll meet you where we started once again
Maybe we were right to carry on, to carry on
Even when they said we'd be undone
Take it as a sign we can still go on, we still belong
Even when the worst is yet to come
And when tomorrow comes
And we've shown everyone
What they can never take away
Maybe we were right to carry on, to carry on
Even when they said we'd be undone
Take it as a sign we can still go on, we still belong
Even when the best is yet to come
And when tomorrow comes
And we've shown everyone
What they can never take away
And when tomorrow comes
And we've shown everyone
What they can never take away
