How It Starts Lyrics

[Intro]
(That's how it starts when it ends)

[Verse]
She put clothes in a suitcase, I put Jack in a soda
She got the TV, and I got the sofa
And it hit me for the first time, which one of us gets our friends?
I guess that's how it starts when it ends
(That's how it starts when it ends)

[Pre-Chorus]
Lot of quiet in the livin' room, no red wine in the kitchen
Lot of space in this king-size, a lot of somethin' missin'
And I'm stuck here getting used to no sleep and an empty bed
[Chorus]
I guess that's how it starts when it ends
It's hell on a heart
It's long, lonely nights in the neon dark
Whole lot of hole-in-the-wall dive bars
Yeah, I guess that's how it starts when it ends
It's hidin' the heart
Swearin' you're fine and knowin' you aren't
It's a whole lot of fallin' apart
If that's how it starts when it ends
Hell, I hope it don't end how it starts
(I hope it don't end how it starts)

[Pre-Chorus]
Just when I think I'm on the backside of hurtin'
One of those songs comes on, and the whiskey stops workin'
And I'm right back at square one, my movin' on done come undone again [Chorus]
I guess that's how it starts when it ends
It's hell on a heart
It's long, lonely nights in the neon dark
Whole lot of hole-in-the-wall dive bars
Yeah, I guess that's how it starts when it ends
It's hidin' the heart
Swearin' you're fine and knowin' you aren't
It's a whole lot of fallin' apart
If that's how it starts when it ends
Hell, I hope it don't end how it starts
[Bridge]
Hell, I hope I'll stay this broken
Hope it gets to goin' better than it's goin'
Yeah, I hope, yeah, I hope, yeah
I hope I ain't always hopin'
Yeah-yay

[Chorus]
When it ends
It's hell on a heart
It's long, lonely nights in the neon dark
Whole lot of hole-in-the-wall dive bars
Yeah, I guess that's how it starts when it ends
It's hidin' the heart
Swearin' you're fine and knowin' you aren't
It's a whole lot of fallin' apart
If that's how it starts when it ends
Hell, I hope it don't end how it starts
