Lyrics

Til the Livin' End

[Verse 1]

It's too late to tell me you're sorry

It's too late to walk out the door

Last time, last time you left broken hearted

Only to come back for more

[Pre-Chorus]

(Ohhh) I'm not with you for love

(Ohhh) You'll be back on your knees again

[Chorus]

Till the livin' end

When will it ever end

Till the livin' end

You know I can't wait

Can't wait, till the livin' end

[Verse 2]

It was you that wanted affection

It was you and all of your lies

This time, this time I'm changing direction

Changing the look in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

(Ohhh) I'm not with you for love

(Ohhh) You'll be back on your knees again

[Chorus]

Till the livin' end

When will it ever end

Till the livin' end

You know I can't wait

Can't wait, till the livin' end

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Got no hope for the future

When you live in the past

Not gonna wait for tomorrow

Can't wait, till the livin' end

[Chorus]

Till the livin' end

When will it ever end

Till the livin' end

You know I can't wait

Can't wait, till the livin' end

Can't wait, till the livin' end

Can't wait, till the livin' end

Can't wait, till the livin' end
