Yet you're staring at another strange ceiling again
You race to your car through the cold morning dew
Staring straight ahead and never looking for answers
Though I saw it coming before we started
Though they're cute and they'll pass the time
Kissing around their neck and not their mouth
You didn't spend the night.
The door shuts behind you, the sun rears its head
Though I saw it coming before we went to bed
This is the end
And no one's gonna be broken hearted here
Though I saw it coming before we went to bed
No, I never can be the one for you
Low risk, low reward, love’s all you need
Though I saw it coming before we started
Though I saw it coming before we started
No long talks and no breakdowns in the way
No, I never can be the one for you
But isn't that what makes it worthwhile anyway?
Careful not to make noise across the creaky wood floors
No, I never can be the one for you
So they don't look in your eyes
Slightly annoyed and confused, she didn't seem to mind
This is the end
This is the end
And no one's gonna be broken hearted here
Though you swore you'd stay home and read
Try to separate omissions from the lies
Now you're pressed against somebody who you don't even like
This is the end
And no one's gonna be broken hearted here
You lie down exhausted and riddled with doubt
Though I saw it coming before we went to bed
They're not as cold as yours
With low expectations and nobody's letdown
This is the end
Wondering when it’s alright to leave, so you just get dressed
Though I saw it coming before we went to bed
No, I never can be the one for you
This is the end
Then wait 'til they're sleeping and sneak towards the door
Dumb yourself down, it's a great disguise
Though I saw it coming before we started
Try to separate the feeling from the truth
This is the end
But did you think that you could walk away so clean?
You're pulled in many directions, it's never a gamble
This is the end
