This is How it Ends (Song)

See the colors I’ve been hiding?
My mask is staying on the shelf
I don’t care what you think and I’m finding
That it’s better just to be myself

You say that this isn’t me
That everything I am is a show
I’m leaving on the count of three,
And you’ll never hunt me down once I go.

(Chorus)

So tell me again that I don’t fit in
And ask me why I’m such a punk,
This is an argument I’ll never win
I’m leaving now, so wish me good luck
It was you who pushed me away
So don’t even ask me to stay
“This is how it ends” I cried
as the starlight flickered and died

You were wrong all the days when
you insisted that this isn’t really me
The real show was put on back then
When I was what you wanted me to be

I’ve been living a charade for years,
I quit, this parade marches no more
For all the bitter, bloody tears
I’m gone by the count of four

(Chorus)

So tell me again that I don’t fit in
And ask me why I’m such a punk,
This is an argument I’ll never win
I’m leaving now, so wish me good luck
It was you who pushed me away
So don’t even ask me to stay
“This is how it ends” I cried
As the starlight flickered and died

The main thing now
Is what I want to do
I’m free from that life
I don’t need you

(Chorus)

So tell me again that I don’t fit in
And ask me why I’m such a punk,
This is an argument I’ll never win
I’m leaving now, so wish me good luck
It was you who pushed me away
So don’t even ask me to stay
“This is how it ends” I cry
And the starlight will flicker and die!
