In The End Lyrics

You've been, at the mercy of all my

Two cents, buried under the dirt I've

Loosened, in the words I used to

Dig you in this hole, and

You've been, overwhelmed at the brink of

Ruin, forced to bear my desperate

Delusions, in a love not of the

Grandeur I once hoped

You never wanted me to be this

Somebody who couldn't face what it meant

Begging for something you couldn't give

When you said you only needed a friend

I held us captive I understand

Why I was to blame and hard to defend

Still you refused to hate me, instead

You said what we had was good in the end

What we had was good in the end

What we had was good in the end

Oh, we've been, drowning under the pain we've

Deepened, sinking further beneath the

Deep end, in these rivers of tears I

Cried again and again and again

You never wanted me to be this

Somebody who couldn't face what it meant

Begging for something you couldn't give

When you said you only needed a friend

I held us captive I understand

Why I was to blame and hard to defend

Still you refused to hate me, instead

You said what we had was good in the end

What we had was good in the end

What we had was good in the end

In my defense

I was a such a broken man

I was searching for

Something to show there was more

Than this heartbreak

Stuck in a dark place

Just when I lost faith

You made me feel safe

So I grew too attached

Tried to outrun my past

I knew this wouldn't last

I knew this wouldn't last

You know I'm only grateful for this

Friendship, and even if we both drift

Apart in the future we'll be content

We say "what we had was good in the end"

What we had was good in the end

What we had was good in the end

You never wanted me to be this

Somebody who couldn't face what it meant

Begging for something you couldn't give

When you said you only needed a friend

I held us captive I understand

Why I was to blame and hard to defend

Still you refused to hate me, instead

You said what we had was good in the end
