Ending Before I Begin Lyrics

If nobody hears it, then how can I listen to you?
If nobody sees it, then why can't I show it to you?
In the depths of my emotion, I'm a spinning wheel;
All the world can feel-
As I delicately rip my heart out, I deserve more for it.

So let me take the waves out of the ocean,
Let me take the stars down from the sky.
Let me take away the dark light, I've been here all night-
Ending before I begin.

If love is a comfort, then why aren't I comforting you?
(Why can't I comfort you?)
If trust is a burden, then who've you entrusted me to?
(Who do you run to?)
I might need some information about letting go-
About hearts full of snow.
And a sadness so contagious,
I've become fond of it, oh...

So let me take the waves out of the ocean,
Let me take the stars down from the sky.
Let me take away the dark light, I've been here all night-
Ending before I begin.
Let me take the faith from your foundation,
Let me take the wrong then make it right.
Let me take away the dark light, I've been here all night-
Ending before I begin.

And in the end-
It never lasts.
This suffering-
Only joy remains.
I hear your call,
I speak your name-
A lonely prayer,
No one to receive.

Who do you run to?
Ending before I begin.

So let me take the waves out of the ocean,
Let me take the stars down from the sky.
(Stars down from the sky)
Let me take away the dark light, I've been here all night-
(I've been here all night)
Ending before I begin.
(I'm ending before I begin)
Let me take the faith from your foundation,
(Take the faith)
Let me take the wrong then make it right.
(I'm gonna make it right)
Let me take away the dark light, I've been here all night-
(I've been here all night)
Ending before I begin.

I'm ending before I begin-
It's ending before we begin.
Ending before I begin-
It's ending before I begin.

I really like Cool darrens fans like u : )

i knew lyrics would be here. actually im no pretty sure about the meaning of this new great song by Mr hayes.

so lets start a disccusion about it, i might start by saying that it could be about a relationship that there is no communication ?

btw this song sounds like Tension and the spark

Thanks!

I'm also unsure of the meaning for this one. It does remind me (lyrically) of "Black Out the Sun" and musically of "Darkness" and "Fallen Angel."

I think you're right about there being no communication in this particular relationship. It's about the moment when you realize it might be over and you start preparing yourself for it (especially the second verse).

yeap, now thinking and after listened this song several times i might say that also it could be about somebody that did not realize a friend that was a good person and maybe that person was the right one but u just did not realieze about it, i dont know.

but also i think that it is about something that is goin no good and you want to change it and make it right as it was before.

ill die for a Darren´s interview talkin about this song.

In a relationship where the other person is withdrawing and it is unclear, that person shuts down, lack of communication, and it’s heading for an ending.

Hearts full of snow representing the coldness and the sadness that comes with it is so contagious

When producing Secret Codes, Darren spoke about the importance of not letting go and not breaking up and holding on to love; that was a theme.

So the fightback occurs within the song: "Let me take the wrong then make it right. There are lots of pledges in the song that start with “let me”. It may be "ending ... but it is ending before I begin" And I am here to try and make it right. "let me"

And there is reassurance “It never lasts. This suffering.Only joy remains.” Looking on the brighter side of things, most importantly … love.

There is so much more that can be said about this song, I've only touched on it lighting, and it's my general opinion.
