Surprise Ending - Armchair Cynics

Why can’t I believe what I want to believe?

Let go of instinct’s subtle hand

Why can’t I pretend nothing’s happening?

Like so many others have

Well I want you to say that things will get better

'Cause I know myself and I can do better

Well I want to say that things will get better

But I, I can’t

And it feels like it’s a movie about losing

Only this time it’s us And we’re counting on a surprise ending

That never does come

That never does come

Well I’m gonna to stay wandering

You can tear the house down around me Like a ghost that won’t admit that he’s dead

I’m stuck here in the middle of it Well I want you to say that things will get better

'Cause I know myself and I can do better

Well I want to say that things will get better

But I, I can’t

And it feels like it’s a movie about losing

Only this time it’s us And we’re counting on a surprise ending

That never does come

That never does come

And it feels like it’s a movie about losing

Only this time it’s us And we’re counting on a surprise ending

That never does come

That never does come
