Loudon Wainwright Iii - The End Has Begun lyrics

We've been here before You know the signs The looks and the language The gestures, the lines I've felt these feelings And I know how it's done And I know that you know The end has begun It was great while it lasted Now it's not even nice Now's the time we should end it Or we'll pay the price It wouldn't be worth it There is no long run Let's cut our losses The end has begun We thought that we were so smart And that it couldn't end How did the end start? When did it begin? In the beginning There wasn't an end When things weren't perfect Then we would pretend But that game is over Nobody won And we're worn out pretending The end has begun We'll probably keep going There's a bit more in store We'll probably keep trying Who knows what for But we've started to finish It's just another one An unhappy beginning The end has begun We thought that we were so smart And that it couldn't end How did the end start? When did it begin?
