End All Be All

“End All Be All” Explained

First I’m sorry

This is the way it is

I’d never mean to hurt you 

Mislead you as I did

So I have to tell you 

While we’re still living 

We’re still living

Autumn years ago

A book I seldom read

It’s a Bible verse 

Caught you’re eye what’s worse

Finally feel the need 

For poetry

So unholy 

You’re the end all be all

You’re the one to break my fall

You’re the everything I need 

In the only one I want

But the question is this

Are we built for permanence 

Or is something always missing 

In our love

Every day now

I live like I’m in a trap

And I always mean to tell you

You don’t have to love me back

I’ll take six of one 

If you can’t give me half

I can live with that 

It’s alright babe 

If Nashville isn’t home 

It’s a place to land

Don’t misunderstand 

If I never leave

Cause I’m on the road 

Tryin’ to let this go

You’re the end all be all

You’re the one to break my fall

You’re the everything I need 

In the only one I want

But the question is this

Are we built for permanence 

Or is something always missing 

In our love
