The End lyrics

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

I 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

I 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 out from the 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 future's ear

My dear

The end

Comes near

I'm here

But not much longer
