The End - Stereo MC's

As the flowers of romance start to fade in the shade of the shadows of the mess

we made

I try to laugh but I’m all chocked up 'cause there ain’t nothing funny 'bout

breakin' up

I see you cry but I don’t hurt no more 'cause I don’t see what we’re fighting

for

And I’m sad 'cause I know I been bad

A world full of troubles but I end up getting mad

But I ain’t lost belief, I just can’t find no peace

Maybe you want us to cease to be

You make it so plain, it ain’t no mystery

You just wanna hang with your own group of friends

'Cause you can’t hide from the fact that this is the end

So hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say,

hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say

Hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say,

hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say

I hit a brick wall when I tried to explain

We gotta stop playing all of these games

I hit opposition when I said something’s missing

You point your finger and say I gotta change

Now we stand on a bridge over troubled water

You wanna jump but I know the waves slaughter

I been through it before you see

So I recognize that you’re testing me

But now school’s over, we ain’t rolling in the clover

You can pull the wool over your own eyes if you wanna

There’s nothing left but a pause, a loose end

I’m waiting for a sign that you ain’t ever gonna send

I’m sick 'n' tired of being fired up just to defend

Well, this is the end

So hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say,

hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say

Hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say,

hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say

You know the time has come

Hear what I say

Hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say,

hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say

Hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say,

hear what I say, hear what I say, hear what I say
