How This Ends Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You said, "Who are we fooling?"
I guess that you gave up
On all that I am and all that I'm not
'Cause I'm fucking useless and full of excuses
I guess that you cut free
From all that we are and will never be

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the flowers are dead like the hearts in our chest
And I'm hanging my head 'cause I'm tryna forget
How we bled, and we bled, and we bled, and we bled

[Chorus]
So, this is where we ended up
All of those years that I wasted for lovе
And here it is, forevеrmore
The house is on fire and I can't find the door
If I had the heart to start it again
I'd stamp out the sparks in my own self-defence
Say, you ain't gonna like how this ends

[Verse 2]
You know, if we went back
To fix what we once had
There'd still be no chance
For you and me 'cause inevitably
[Pre-Chorus]
All the flowers would die, and the tears from your eyes
Would come as no surprise as I tried to forget
How we bled, and we bled, and we bled, and we bled

[Chorus]
So, this is where we ended up
All of those years that I wasted for love
And here it is, forevermore
The house is on fire and I can't find the door
If I had the heart to start it again
I'd stamp out the sparks in my own self-defence
No, you ain't gonna like how this ends

[Bridge]
Broken with no way to mend
No, you ain't gonna like how this ends
I'm stuck here just tryna forget
How we bled, and we bled, and we bled, and we bled

[Chorus]
So, this is where we ended up
All of those years that I wasted for love
And here it is, forevermore
The house is on fire and I can't find the door
If I had the heart to start it again
I'd stamp out the sparks in my own self-defence
Say, you ain't gonna like how this ends
