Running like a dog, never making connections
Keep your story straight if they question you
Try to separate the feeling from the truth

You're pulled in many directions, it's never a gamble
Low risk, low reward, love's all you need
But did you think that you could walk away so clean?

Yet you're staring at another strange ceiling again
Though you swore you'd stay home and read
Wondering when it's alright to leave
So you just get dressed

The door shuts behind you, the sun rears its head
You race to your car through the cold morning dew
Slightly annoyed and confused, she didn't seem to mind
You didn't spend the night

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we went to bed
No, I never could be the one for you

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we started
And no one's gonna be broken hearted here
Staring straight ahead and never looking for answers
Dumb yourself down, it's a great disguise
Try to separate omissions from the lies

With low expectations, then nobody's let down
No long talks and no breakdowns in the way
But isn't that what makes it worthwhile anyway?

Now you're pressed against somebody who you don't even like
Though they're cute and they'll pass the time
Kissing around their neck and not their mouth
So they don't look in your eyes

You lie down exhausted and riddled with doubt
Then wait 'til they're sleeping and sneak towards the door
Careful not to make noise across the creaky wood floors
They're not as cold as yours

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we went to bed
No, I never could be the one for you

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we started
And no one's gonna be broken-hearted here
This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we went to bed
No, I never could be the one for you

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we started
And no one's gonna be broken-hearted here

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we went to bed
No, I never could be the one for you

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we started
And no one's gonna be broken-hearted here
