DEAD END Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From the outside looking in
We really had it all
I'd cry to my therapist
I knew we hit a wall
Rooftop parties in the city, you could’ve been with me
Oh I loved you, why'd it feel like something was missing?

[Pre-Chorus]
Going nowhere nowhere fast
Driving reckless till we crash, till we crash

[Chorus]
Oh this is the part where I walk away
If I'm lookin selfish, baby that’s okay
It's gonna hurt to leave and it's gonna hurt to stay
Gonna miss my best friend, but we hit a dead end
No it's not my fault that my feelings changed
Yeah I have regrets but I'm not ashamed
It's gonna hurt to leave and it's gonna hurt to stay
I'm gonna miss my best friеnd, but we hit a dead end

[Verse 2]
Look out thе window on a plane
You made me fly alone
Tried to text you from the gate
You’re happy on your own
That was the moment it all hit me
You should’ve been with me
Can't go on like this forever
For the rest of my twenties
[Pre-Chorus]
Going nowhere nowhere fast
Driving reckless till we crash, till we crash

[Chorus]
Oh this is the part where I walk away
If I’m lookin selfish, baby that's okay
It's gonna hurt to leave and it's gonna hurt to stay
Gonna miss my best friend, but we hit a dead end
No it’s not my fault that my feelings changed
Yeah I have regrets but I'm not ashamed
It's gonna hurt to leave and it's gonna hurt to stay
I'm gonna miss my best friend, but we hit a dead end

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
