In the End

[Verse 1]
If I cried, I would cry for the living
Look at the trouble life brings
'Loss and decay' is the natural way
Time has its eye on you

[Verse 2]
Age is a sign you are living
Pain is the proof you still feel
'Loss and decay' is just Life's little way
Of reminding you this is for real

[Bridge]
And each little chance
That has slipped from your hands
In the end it was all
Up to you

And each little chance
That has slipped from your hands
In the end it was all
Up to you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Take a long hard look in the mirror
Read the lines that life wrote on your face
If the lines don't read well, then consider
If you're alive, then you can change

You may rise up as light as a feather
Or you may sink like a stone

[Bridge]
But we're stuck on this same rock together
You are not the only one
You are not the only one
(You are not the only one)

[Outro]
In the end, all you have is worth nothing
In the end, it was all up to you
In the end, it's a game where you give or take
And if you took more than you gave, then you lose
