So This Is How It Ends Lyrics

God knows I've tried but I can't work you out

Such strong convictions yet fuelled by doubt

When you close your eyes tell me what do you see

A white picket fence, or a withered fig tree?

So now's your last chance let me pick at your pain

Just don't sit there in silence then tell me I've changed

Non-confrontational, can't make a sound

Am I lifting you up, am I dragging you down?

Hoped you'd learn to share but you don't have the time

Think I've got my kingdom, my kingdom is mine

And when I try to pry you just put up the wall

Protecting your pride, prepared for the fall

So say your last rites, finally me the truth

Have I robbed you of feeling, your freedom, your youth?

And when you close your eyes are you thinking of her?

Are you desperate to leave, but you're scared it'll hurt?

Well I wish you all the best

That you'll find peace with your regrets

Then you sighed, took a breath and said

So this is how it ends
