The Grand Finale Lyrics

I oughta tell you how I'm really feeling now

Outside of the story that I'm stuck here working out

I put my whole soul into something that I could sell

And you have the nerve to ask if I'm still doing well

The truth is

I'm fine

I'm feeling better than before

So don't you

Worry

About my feelings anymore

I'm here

Writing

All those songs I used to sing

The truth is

I'm fine

But the truth won't sell a thing

I draw from the pain that I've been through for most my life

But I've always gone for fingernails instead of knives

I charted a course to where I'm finally feeling now

But if you heard my songs you'd probably question how

The truth is

I'm fine

I'm feeling better than before

So don't you

Worry

About my feelings anymore

I'm here

Writing

All those songs I used to sing

The truth is

I'm fine

But the truth won't sell a thing

I told you before

I'm not going anywhere

I'll settle the score

If it proves to you I care

And I'm not afraid to tell you

You're crossing a line

If it's what I need to prove it

I will make you mine

I still

Love you

Like I always did before

I will

Be here

Til you don't want me anymore

I won't

Let you

Force yourself to fade away

I still

Love you

No matter what you may say

I asked you to trust me

So you'd know that I trust you

I know it sounds scary

But I swear to god it's true

I'm not gonna leave you waiting

For some greater sign

I just want to ask you to believe

I'm on your side

I still

Love you

Like I always did before

I will

Be here

Til you don't want me anymore

I won't

Let you

Force yourself to fade away

I still

Love you

No matter what you may say

Every day we spent apart

Worms its way into my heart

Every song I couldn't sing

Because I lost everything

I can't ask you to forgive

I'm just begging you to live

I will be here if I can

Hoping you might understand

I'm sorry I ever left

I didn't mean to leave so long

I'll make it up to you yet

If you just give me one last song

I never apologized

Couldn't look you in the eyes

You were better then than me

But I know you didn't see

I don't want to hurt you now

But it's easy to see how

Leaving would just hurt you more

So let me open the door

I'm sorry I ever left

I didn't mean to leave so long

I'll make it up to you yet

If you just give me one last song

Come one, come all

See the traveling fool

Held in a cage

As a matter of rule

There in the back

Why don't you have a try

Are you the one

To make this poor clown cry

Hold up your torch

He can't see in the dark

Hold your gun close

And aim right for the heart

Here in his tent

We could leave him alone

Wouldn't that just

Wear him down to the bone

Could you have faith in me

Out of the lion's den

I could wait here for you

Would you be happy then

I held a torch for you

Longer than you for I

Is it selfish to want

You to not have to cry

You hold a razor blade

Up to the rope you hang

Did you forget all of

The love songs that you sang

I'll hold you close

If you let me in

I've

Been trying to find

A way I could stay

The key to your heart

The words I should say

The person I was

The person I am

They're both here inside

Now I understand

I think it's enough

To try to be good

To not worry much

About what I should

I held myself back

For way too damn long

Afraid to be wrong

I oughta know by now

There's nothing I should fear

No I'm not a monster

Like I think I might appear

I'll swallow my pride and admit

I was really wrong

And maybe it's time to end the show

And say so long

What do you want me to say happened next

What kind of ending is ever perfect

Would you be happy to hear if there was something more

Is it enough to be happy and fine

Won't be forever but still a long time

Isn't that all in the end that we're each fighting for

I hope you live happily ever after

I hope you make yourself plenty of friends

I'm sorry I hurt you, I hope that you're better

I'll ask for forgiveness but I won't pretend

You will find someone who loves you so tender

You will have nothing that you need to lend

This story goes happily ever after

Curtains close up

Thanks for playing

The end
