Song Lyrics

Running like a dog
Never making connections
Keep your story straight
If they question you,
Try to separate the feeling
From the truth.

You're pulled in many directions,
It's never a gamble.
Low risk low reward
Love is all you need.
But did you think that
You could walk away so clean?

Yet you're staring at another
Strange ceiling again,
Though you swore
You'd stay home and read,
Wondering when it is alright to leave,
So you just get dressed.

The door shuts behind you,
The sun rears its head,
You race to your car
Through the cold morning dew,
Slightly annoyed and confused--
She didn't seem to mind,

You didn't spend the night...

This is the end,
Though I saw it coming
Before we went to bed,
No I never could be the one for you.

This is the end,
Thought I saw it coming
Before we started and
No one's gonna be broken-hearted here.

Staring straight ahead
Never looking for answers,
Dumb yourself down
It's a great disguise.
Try to separate omissions from the lies.
With low expectations

Then nobody's letdown,
No long talks and
No breakdowns in the way.
But isn't that what makes it worthwhile anyway?
Now you're pressed against somebody
Who you don't even like,

Though they're cute
And they'll pass the time,
Kissing around their neck
And not their mouth,
So they don't look in your eyes.
You lie down exhausted

And riddled with doubt,
Then wait 'til they're sleeping
And sneak towards the door,
Careful not to make noise
Across the creaky wood floors...

They're not as cold as yours.

This is the end,
Though I saw it coming
Before we went to bed,
No I never could be the one for you.

This is the end,
Though I saw it coming
Before we started and
No one's gonna be broken-hearted here.

This is the end,
Though I saw it coming
Before we went to bed,
No I never could be the one for you.

This is the end,
Though I saw it coming
Before we started and
No one's gonna be broken-hearted here.

This is the end,
Though I saw it coming
Before we went to bed,
No I never could be the one for you.

This is the end,
Though I saw it coming
Before we started and
No one's gonna be broken-hearted here.
