[Verse 1]
This isn't what you need
It isn't what I need either
Sometimes you're left with no other way
And it's better to take a breather

I misunderstood
Our unspoken understanding
And I don't know if it hurt us so bad
If we'd managed a better landing

[Chorus]
This may not be the end of the world
But it's the end of something dear to me
You can knock me for clutching my pearls
But it feels like something I should grieve
After all this was something really dear to...
Severely dear to me

[Verse 2]
We can't see eye to eye
Hear ear to ear
Or taste the same things
Redemption song I wanted to sing
Is not the song I'm singing

[Chorus]
That may not be the end of the world
But it's the end of something dear to me
You can knock me for clutching my pearls
But it feels like something I should grieve
After all this was something really dear to...
Severely dear to me
