This Is How It Ends Lyrics

So you've defined your worth through intelligent satire...
But this is how it ends)

And you've sorted and filed all receipts for this tax year...
But this is how it ends)
A well calculated and thought out budget...
But this is how it ends)

Vitamins, Valium, vanity, something...
(But this is how it ends)

And it's another night thinking I should tell her I mean it,
But I just sit there as she lies on her side.

While you were breaking the ice I was breaking a sweat...
But this is how it ends)

Far too much caffeine, too little regret...
But this is how it ends)
You left a casual note, read: 'I'll see you later...'
This is how it ends)

But you pushed down so hard that you broke the paper...
And this is how it ends...)

And it's another night thinking I should tell her I mean it,

But I just sit there as she lies on her side.
