Tell Me How It Ends
Unveiling Life's Tapestry: Secrets and Redemption in 'Tell Me How It Ends'
Lyrics
"You told us all a story
You shared a narrative with everyone
A story full of fury, a story of regret
The story was intense and filled with remorse
You told us every legend of how it all began
You recounted the origins and myths of it all
You never did tell me how it ends
You left out the conclusion or resolution
You told me what would happen
You predicted the consequences of my choices
If I carried down this road, just around the bend
Especially what would happen just ahead
You told me to abandon my family and my friends
You suggested abandoning close relationships
You never did tell me how it ends
The ultimate outcome remains undisclosed
So if you could only tell me
If only you could reveal the ending
I'd get up off the sidewalk and try it all again
I would rise from difficulty and restart
I'd speak up for the people nobody could defend
I'd advocate for those without defense
Remember our history books, embedded with our sins
Reflecting on our past filled with wrongdoing
And write a final coda on which we could depend
Create a conclusive ending for us to rely on
If you would only tell me how it ends
If only I knew how the story concludes
Tell me how it ends, oh I can keep a secret
Inquire about the resolution; I can be discreet
I feel it coming just beyond my sight
Sensing something imminent but unseen
I don't need a map or a crystal ball to see it
No need for guidance, just assurance it'll be fine
Just tell me if it ends up alright
If it turns out well, just inform me
Tell me how it ends, oh I can keep a secret
Ask again about the ending; I can be silent
This body's going down without a fight
Facing challenges without resistance
I don't need a map or a crystal ball to see it
No need for predictions; just confirm the outcome
Just tell me if it ends up alright
If it concludes positively, let me know
Tell me how it ends, oh I can keep a secret
Repeat the request for clarity and confidentiality
Twenty years I've waited on a sign
Two decades of waiting for a signal
I don't need a map or a crystal ball to see it
No reliance on foresight; just inform me
Just tell me if it ends up alright
If it turns out well, please disclose
Just tell me if it ends up alright
Reiterate the plea for knowledge of the ending
Just tell me if it ends up alright
Repeat the desire for information on the resolution
Just tell me if it ends"
Reaffirm the request for disclosure of the ending
