This is how it ends
All bitterness and bruising
How it soon descends
Into victory and losing
These are suitable grounds for the blues

This is how it ends
All screwed up and confusing
No fear it might offend
That former loved one you're refusing
Resentment mixed with anger
Is suitable grounds for the blues
Suitable grounds for the blues

This is how it ends
The acceptance of delusion
The urge to condescend
The inevitable conclusion
These are suitable grounds for the blues
