So This Is How It Ends

God knows I've tried but I can't work you out
Such strong convictions yet fuelled by doubt
When you close your eyes tell me what do you see
A white picket fence, or a withered fig tree?

So now's your last chance let me pick at your pain
Just don't sit there in silence then tell me I've changed
Non-confrontational, can't make a sound
Am I lifting you up, am I dragging you down?

Hoped you'd learn to share but you don't have the time
Think I've got my kingdom, my kingdom is mine
And when I try to pry you just put up the wall
Protecting your pride, prepared for the fall

So say your last rites, finally me the truth
Have I robbed you of feeling, your freedom, your youth?
And when you close your eyes are you thinking of her?
Are you desperate to leave, but you're scared it'll hurt?

Well I wish you all the best
That you'll find peace with your regrets
Then you sighed, took a breath and said
So this is how it ends
