this is the end
didn't know if
we'd do this again
and you tried to mend
my heart or your ego
either way, it's broken.
so broken.
this is the end.

we tested the waters,
tip-toed in,
we danced in the rain,
you'd kiss me again,
grab my waist
as you wrap me
in chains.
you drove me around,
led me in.
this is the end.

this is the end.
on a month
with no goodbyes.
you come again
and fill my lungs
with butterflies.
tears from your eyes,
you never thought
you'd find,
such a woman like
me in this life.
i sat by your side,
whispered light(ly)
"this is what real love is like."
but this is the end.

this is the end.
as i looked in your eyes.
and i felt blind.
so i put on the biggest smile.
"here's your space,"
make it worth your while.
losing you was easier than lying.
to myself...
"this wasn't the end"
but i wish you were
a better man.
because we may have
had a standing chance.
maybe even still be in love.
and we both know
you would've been the one.
but this is the end.

it's messy, i know.Where stories live. Discover now
