So you've defined your worth through intelligent satire but this is how it ends
And you've sorted and filed all receipts for this tax year but this is how it ends
A well calculated and thought out budget but this is how it ends
Vitamins, Valium, vanity, something but this is how it ends

And it's another night thinking I should tell her I mean it but I just sit there as she lies on her side

While you were breaking the ice I was breaking a sweat but this is how it ends
Far too much caffeine, too little regret but this is how it ends
You left a casual note, read: "I'll see you later"; this is how it ends
But you pushed down so hard that you broke the paper and this is how it ends
