Pain of Salvation
If This Is the End
[Verse 1]
Tell me, my friend, if this is the end
For once do we make amends?
When all has been weighed, measured and paid
All aces laid, all prayers prayed

[Verse 2]
I've hidden your knives, I've cut down your ropes
I flushed your pills to save your life

[Verse 3]
The flowers are dead, petals all spread
Over the pills beside my bed
"We had a good run
Our days in the sun, so come what may"
Fuck all they say
I want to stay

[Chorus]
Stay
Stay
Stay
Stay
Stay

[Bridge 1]
"We had our good run
Our days in the sun, so come what may"
The crap they say
[Chorus]
Stay
Stay
Stay
Stay
Stay

[Bridge 2]
I was born in this building
It was the first Tuesday I'd ever seen
And if I lived to see tomorrow
It would be my Tuesday number 2119

[Verse 4]
All has been weighed
All measured and paid
All aces laid
All prayers prayed

[Bridge 3]
Stay
God?
I asked for something of my own
With a locked door
I asked for something that I could control
I asked for something cutting to the bone
I asked for something cutting to my bone
Oh
Cutting to my bone
[Instrumental Break]

Ahhh!
God!
God!
Ahhh!
Ooohh!
Something of my own
Ohhh!
