How It Ends Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What was the point
Of all of those migraines
If life's so short?
Don't spend it my way
Try to avoid
A pointless time change
If you wanna see the world
Don't take the highway


[Pre-Chorus]
If you wanna dance again, you can dance again
Use a lifeline, honey, phone a friend
It'll take some time, it'll make you glad
To have what you had again

[Chorus]
This isn't how it ends
This isn't where we put down our pens
Go tell the businessmen
This isn't how it ends

[Verse 2]
Go sell your shares
If you're so worried (If you're so worried)
If life's so short (Life's so short)
What's your hurry? (What's your hurry?)
When you get there
You'll tell the jury
That you didn't wanna get involved (Get involved, get involved)
'Cause you want mercy (You want mercy)
[Pre-Chorus]
If you wanna dance again, you can dance again
Use a lifeline, honey, phone a friend
It'll make you cry when you make amends
Who wants a millionaire when you can have a friend?

[Chorus]
When it ends
When we can finally put down our pens
Go tell the businessmen
If this is how it ends
I want my money back
I wanna watch 'em all overreact
Don't tell me not to laugh
Don't tell me how it ends

[Post-Chorus]
Woah
Woah
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Outro]
If you wanna dance
Wanna dance, you can dance
It'll take, it'll make
Who wants a millionaire when you can have a friend?
If you wanna dance again, you can dance again
Use a lifeline, honey, phone a friend
It'll make you cry when you make amends
Who wants a millionaire when you can have a friend?

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 [?]
