How long have we tried to make this work?
We stretched our love across the globe
And wore it out until it broke
And for the past six years we've tangled ourselves up inside this mess
Of you and me, a tragedy, an awkward dance,
A symphony

Here's to you

As the sounds of empty metaphors collide
Pain and despair are forced to take the stage,
Played out before our eyes
Meanwhile morphine drips and baby cribs are keeping me alive
And now I see it was never me,
You want anything but me

Oh dear

Like a plane in the mountainside,
We were flawed
Opposites that somehow collide
On the night that all is lost
And everything begins anew,
When all is said and done,
I'll raise my glass and say:

Here's to you

You are the song that won't stop
Playing in my dizzy head and
You are the sea that pulled me in
And ripped my body into shreds
And all the lovers kiss
As the ball comes down
I'll be the only trash that's left
To sweep up now

Like a plane in the mountainside,
We were flawed
Opposites that somehow collide
On the night that all is lost
And everything begins anew,
When all is said and done,
I'll raise my glass and say:

Here's to

You are the loveliest tear I've cried
All the best and all the worst days of my life
Thank you for the love, the laughs, and even for the tears
And as this clock strikes twelve I'll finally walk away

Here's to you
