Distant End

Guess I should know by now that words don't mean anything when you're a fiend.

You may have been the highlight

of my lowlife when we were young,

but you stung me hard when

you lied, were you high

when you said you'd get better?

Guess I should know by now

that words don't mean

anything when you're a fiend.

Don't hand me sweet nothings

It's not my cup of tea,

I would never see you change

Don't think you ever will,

not even when life is at a standstill.

It's time to say goodbye

I know you thought this would last forever

but you were wrong.

It's time for us to be strong

so we can see the light of day,

go our own ways in this life.

Something about us was never right

friends had this in sight before

I had even caught on.

I didn't want to believe them,

a system of not listening to the

truth had set inside of my mind.

Finally, I had realized the kind

of person you are

wasn't what I saw

at the beginning of it all.

Don't hand me sweet nothings

It's not my cup of tea,

I would never see you change

Don't think you ever will,

not even when life is at a standstill.

It's time to say goodbye

I know you thought this would last forever

but you were wrong.

It's time for us to be strong

so we can see the light of day,

go our own ways in this life.

Why can't you move on?

Do you see what you've become?

I have let you go,

freed myself from the stress,

guess it's over now.

How had this gone wrong?

Don't hand me sweet nothings

It's not my cup of tea,

I would never see you change

Don't think you ever will,

not even when life is at a standstill.

It's time to say goodbye

I know you thought this would last forever

but you were wrong.

It's time for us to be strong

so we can see the light of day,

go our own ways in this life.

It's time to say goodbye

I know you thought this would last forever

but you were wrong.

It's time for us to be strong

so we can see the light of day,

go our own ways in this life.
