Story behind the song

I met up with an old schoolfriend and his family, and thought things were going great for them.  Later down the pub, we shared a few beers and he told me that they were going to split up.  Nothing he could do about it.  Does this sound familiar?

Lyrics

Funny How It Ends That Way

I don’t know what to say
When I look in your direction and the feeling’s gone away
I don’t know what to do
When you’re gazing in the distance and its me your staring through

I don’t know where love has gone
How what we had became undone
Seems all my hopes got overrun - today

And I feel deep inside we both know
We’ve been running round in circles with nowhere else to go
And I’ve nothing left to say
Funny how it ends that way?

I was taken by surprise
I guess I should have seen this coming but I didn’t read the signs
And now there’s no need to disguise
That you’ve become a stranger, someone I don’t recognise

I don’t know where love has gone
Its ridden off into the sun
I’ve got to play a part that I don’t want - starting from today

And I feel deep inside we both know
There’s still some love between us, but we’ve got to let it go
And you’ve nothing left to say
Funny how it ends that way?
Funny how it ends that way?

Solo

And I feel inside we know, we know
There’s still some love between us, but we’ve got to let it go
Because we’ve nothing left to say, today
Funny how it ends that way?

And I feel inside we know, we know
We’re staring at the credits of the last picture show
And the hero won’t be back to save the day
Funny how it ends that way?
Funny how it ends that way?….
