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
