And in the end
Will the love we make
Be equal to the love we take
Will you still love me
If there are no tomorrows
Will we be repeating patterns
Of someone else’s words
Suspended in the air
Like a song or distant cry
What if someone else said it better
In the end
Will we be ourselves
When we face the unknown ballad
