The Agony of Everything

And the waiting is the hardest part
Of a broken heart on the mend
Ever-fading, my elating heart
Will stop and start again
The unfolding of this tragic tale
Is a fond farewell to change
So I'm holding to my hopes and dreams
As I split my seams in vain

(Don't look for me here)

This is the way the world will end for me
Calmly and quietly
Like I'd never happened
This is the agony of everything
This is the in-between
And I'm begging for a change

I'm repeating every past mistake
As I bend and break myself
I'm misreading every passing glance
As another chance to fail
Now I'm blaming every mess I've made
On the masquerade of youth
And I'm framing every lie in place
So I'll never face the truth

(Don't look for me here, I'm not waiting 'round for the breakdown)

This is the way the world will end for me
Lonely and languidly
Like I'd never happened
This is the agony of everything
This is the reckoning
And I'm begging for a change

Now the waiting is the only thing
I have left to cling on to
I'm evading every easy path
In the aftermath of you

Nothing kills me quite like standing still and
Nothing else will ever make me feel this way

(Don't look for me here
I'm not waiting 'round for the breakdown
To break down)

This is the way the world will end for me
Calmly and quietly
Like I'd never happened
This is the agony of everything
This is the in-between
And I'm begging for this
This is the way the world will end for me
Lonely and languidly
Like I'd never happened
This is the agony of everything
This is the reckoning
And I'm begging for a change
