Honestly, what will become of me?
Don't like reality
It's way too clear to me, but
Really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
We miss everything daydreaming
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end
Come to an-
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end
Come to an-
Why do all good things come to an end?
Traveling, I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay (stay)
Young and restless
Living this way, I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in, and I don't cry
I only feel gravity, and I wonder why
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end
Come to an-
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end
Come to an-
Why do all good things come to an end?
Well, the dogs were whistlin' a new tune
Barkin' at the new moon
Hopin' it would come soon
So that they could-
Dogs were whistlin' a new tune
Barkin' at the new moon
Hopin' it would come soon
So that they could-
Die
Die
Die
Die
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end
Come to an-
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end
Come to an-
Why do all good things come to an end?
Well, the dogs were barkin' at the new moon
Whistlin' a new tune
Hopin' it would come soon
And the sun was wonderin' if it should
Stay away for a day
'Til the feelin' went away
And the sky was fallin'
And the clouds were droppin'
And the rain forgot how to bring salvation
The dogs were barkin' at the new moon
Whistlin' a new tune
Hopin' it would come soon
So that they could die
