End of the Road
Love's Last Journey: Embracing Endings with Mikhail Laxton
Lyrics
Well the road has been unkind
Expressing hardship and difficulties experienced along the journey.
I don't regret a single turn
Reflecting on past decisions without regret.
But I don't wanna be unwise
Expressing a desire not to make unwise choices to salvage the relationship.
Just to try and make things work
Acknowledging the reluctance to compromise values solely to fix things.
Just like me
Comparing the speaker to the listener, both struggling emotionally.
You're running on empty
Highlighting emotional exhaustion and feeling broken.
Just like me
-You're broken down
-So I'm not gonna act like I don't love you
Committing to honesty about love and effort in the relationship.
Ain't no need to feel bad 'cause baby, we tried
-I'm not gonna act like
-Like I wanna let you go
-'Cause baby, we both know
Acknowledging that the relationship has reached its end.
That it's the end of the road
-Well we passed by every sign
Recalling the journey through various challenges, expecting it to unravel.
As we drove into the sun
-And we rode through many valleys, yes we did
-Knowing we would come undone
-Just like me
Reiterating emotional fatigue and brokenness.
You're running on empty
-Just like me
-You're broken down
-So I'm not gonna act like I don't love you
Repeating the commitment to honesty and acceptance of the end.
Ain't no need to feel bad 'cause baby, we tried, we tried
-I'm not gonna act like
-Like I wanna let you go
-'Cause baby, we both know
-That it's the end of the road
-So I'm not gonna act like I don't love you
Reaffirming the commitment to truth and acknowledging the inevitable end of the relationship.
Ain't no need to feel bad 'cause baby, we tried, we tried
-I'm not gonna act like
-Like I wanna let you go
-'Cause baby, we both know
-That it's the end of the road
