This is how it ends

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
