The End Is the Beginning Songtext
von Chris Knox

I'm waiting to pick up the pieces
Of a thing that's not broken just yet
I need you to give me a reason
While I'm leaning right over the edge
Buy me a drink, and I'll tell you a tale
Of a little old man and his wife
A plan that was made in frightening detail
And the end of his miserable life

Love makes you do crazy things
And without it you might go insane
Please heed my warning
And pray you don't end up like me


I told her that she wouldn't change me
So this pitiful song is a first
The world is so quiet and empty
I'm a shell of a man without her
I once made a vow, "until death do us part"
But I didn't quite make it that far
I had to find out if she loved me for sure
So I left with my bitter old heart

Love makes you do crazy things
And without it you might go insane
Please heed my warning
And pray you don't end up like me

What would you do in my place?
Would you drown in your shame and disgrace?
When your whole life will soon be erased
What would you do in my place?

I'm not who I used to be
A bad case of forgery
Wood, hay, and stubble is me
My life is fictional
Let me be visceral
We are not invincible
