In the End

[Verse 1]

If I cried, I would cry for the living

Look at the trouble life brings

Loss and decay is the natural way

Time has its eye on you

[Verse 2]

Age is a sign you are living

Pain is the proof you still feel

Loss and decay is just life's little way

Of reminding you this is for real

[Chorus]

And each little chance

That has slipped from your hands

In the end it was all

Up to you

And each little chance

That has slipped from your hands

In the end it was all

Up to you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Take a long hard look in the mirror

Read the lines that life wrote on your face

If the lines don't read well, then consider

If you're alive, then you can change

You may rise up as light as a feather

Or you may sink like a stone

[Bridge]

But we're stuck on this same rock together

You are not the only one

You are not the only one

(You are not the only one)

[Outro]

In the end, all you have is worth nothing

In the end, it was all up to you

In the end, it's a game where you give or take

And if you took more than you gave, then you lose
