Lyrics

The End

What were all those dreams we shared
Those many years ago?
What were all those plans we made
Now left beside the road?
Behind us in the road

More than friends, I always pledged
'Cause friends they come and go
People change as does everything
I wanted to grow old
Just want to grow old

Slide up next to me
I'm just a human being
I will take the blame
But just the same
This is not me

You see
Believe
I'm better than this
Don't leave me so cold
I'm buried beneath the stones
I just want to hold on and know
I'm worth your love

Enough
I don't think
There's such a thing

It's my fault, now having caught
A sickness in my bones
How it pains to leave you here
With the kids on your own
Just don't let me go

Help me see myself
Cause I can no longer tell
Looking up from inside of the bottom of a well

It's Hell
I yell
But no one hears, before I disappear
Whisper in my ear
Give me something to echo
In my unknown futures ear

My dear
The end
Comes near
I'm here
But not much longer
