Lyrics

IN THE END

And in the end, I hope you'll see
I was your friend, even when no one else would be
I took my soul and laid it bare
Inviting you to come and lay your troubles there.

There will be those who criticize
But I don't pay them heed
They just don't see you through my eyes
They don't know what I need
So let them say now what they will
Let them speculate
I am the one who lives with
All the choices that I make

So hear me out and hear me well
There is no doubt I have a great story to tell
Of winding paths and stormy seas
Of joy and laughter, pain and sorrow, all of these.

There will be those who criticize
But I don't pay them heed
They just don't see you through my eyes
They don't know what I need
So let them say now what they will
Let them speculate
I am the one who lives with
All the choices that I make

And in the end, it comes to this
A loyal friend, a baby's smile, a lover's kiss
The song that I was born to sing
A sensual, eventual awakening.

There will be those who criticize
But I don't pay them heed
They just don't see you through my eyes
They don't know what I need
So let them say now what they will
Let them speculate
I am the one who lives with
All the choices that I make
