Lyrics
That's The Way It Ends
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the darkened room her face was just a shadow
You might have been a dream, perhaps you were
The pillow dried your tears
The sadness in your eyes
As time goes by, your case remains unheard.
You never know we might have parted lovers
We might even have parted best of friends
But now you know the score
I'm not worth waiting for
Sad it is, but that's the way it ends.
