The End
Unraveling Love's Last Chapter: The End by Smile Back
Lyrics
This is the story where we both got drunk,
This marks the beginning of a narrative involving intoxication.
And I met you for the first time.
Recalling the initial meeting with the person being addressed.
This is the party where I got too high,
Describing a party where the speaker was excessively high.
And I watched you from the couch making eyes at the tall guy.
Observing the addressee flirting with someone else at the party.
It’s the time in the basement at the bar down the road,
Referring to a specific moment in a basement bar with friends.
When of your girlfriends sent a text to your phone,
Noting a message sent to the addressee from one of their friends.
We stayed out the whole night then I went home alone.
Detailing spending the entire night together but ending up alone.
The little things that get played back on,
Reflecting on small details being mentally replayed, causing discomfort.
Instant replay make me sick.
Expressing discomfort with recurring thoughts and memories.
The little words you said made me,
Indicating that certain words from the addressee had an impact.
Think that you were a part of it. And,
Suggesting a feeling of inclusion in something significant.
You spend all you days trying,
Noting efforts by the addressee to make significant plays in life.
Real hard to make a play and now,
Expressing a negative emotional response to those efforts.
I feel sick.
Continuing to feel unwell emotionally.
This is the end
Declaring the end of a relationship or situation.
This is the end,
Repeating the declaration for emphasis.
Of all the times we’d break before we’d bend.
Reflecting on the pattern of breaking before bending in tough times.
This is the end,
Reiterating the end of the situation or relationship.
But the worst part of this fucking joke is.
Highlighting a negative aspect of the situation or relationship.
This is the part of the story that you’ve,
Transitioning to a new phase of the narrative.
Waited for the whole time.
Addressing the anticipation of a specific part of the story.
This how you lacked the air of class,
Criticizing the addressee for a perceived lack of class.
And I never questioned why.
Expressing a lack of questioning or understanding of the addressee's behavior.
How did this all go though?
Pondering the sequence of events and how they unfolded.
You couldn’t keep it to yourself.
Accusing the addressee of not keeping things private.
Now I’m questioning why I loved you.
Questioning the speaker's past love for the addressee.
And did you ever even really love me too?
Expressing doubt about the addressee's love in return.
This is the end,
Repeating the declaration of the end and the pattern of breaking.
Of all the times we’d break before we’d bend.
Reiterating the breaking before bending theme.
This is the end,
Restating the end of the situation or relationship.
But the worst part of this fucking joke is you're my.
Revealing a particularly painful aspect of the situation or relationship.
This is the end.
Repeating the declaration of the end for emphasis.
This is the end,
Reiterating the pattern of breaking before bending.
Of all the times we’d break before we’d bend.
Emphasizing the finality of the end of the situation or relationship.
This is the end,
Restating the end of the situation or relationship.
But the worst part of this fucking joke is you're my best,
Highlighting a painful irony in the situation, referring to the addressee as the best friend.
Friend.
Concluding the narrative with the acknowledgment of a close relationship turned sour.
