Song of the Day: Mama's Broke - How It Ends

Another sad song.  What can I say?  I love this sad, poignant song about a failed relationship.

But it's not all sad!  Even though it ended, the singer has to admit that it wasn't all bad.  Although maybe, based on the quote below, she doesn't want to remember that "the best [she's] ever had" was someone who let her down so badly.

What can I say, we've all been there.  Or at least I hope we have--I think.  Sometimes you have to take the bad with the good, in order to taste the good.  Look back and realize, oh man, there were some great times, hopefully, in any relationship.

All of the love could never be enough

To cover up the ugly and the sad

But honey if I could, I’d cover up the good

Cause even when it was bad, you were the best I’vе ever had

Then again, later in the song: 

Even when it was bad, you were the best I’ve ever had

Now I know how it ends

But I should have known then

How It Ends Lyrics

[Verse 1]

All those nights you wouldn’t dance with me

You spent the whole time smoking

And avoiding all my friends

I should have known then

[Verse 2]

Down at the bottom, sitting in the car

You left me on the hilltop

To mourn alone the passing of my friend

I should have known then

I should have known then

[Chorus]

All of the love could never be enough

To cover up the ugly and the sad

But honey if I could, I’d cover up the good

Cause even when it was bad, you were the best I’vе ever had

[Verse 3]

You came in crying, sworе you needed God

Said it broke your heart to go

But I was in your way

There’s nothing left to say

So many lies that all begin this way. A home with a garden, and “I’m yours forever darling” But you wrote the same old story in another woman’s bed Just like all the other men I should have known then

[Chorus]

All of the love could never be enough

To cover up the ugly and the sad

But honey if I could, I’d cover up the good

Even when it was bad, you were the best I’ve ever had

Now I know how it ends

But I should have known then
