End of the Day

V1
We grew apart
Through years of wear
Fighting for so long

I am playing
Out old patterns
I’m bored with myself

I’m not leaving
Who you are
I’m finding myself

PC
I’m just going through the motions
At the end of the day

Chorus
At the end of the day
Your love is confining, restraining, limiting
Expects to be a way
A way I've outgrown
At the end of the day

V2
Checked the boxes
I was told to check
thought it meant success

Getting by was
Me shutting down
Just hiding my pain

Scared of failure
Scared of the unknown
Cant give up on myself

PC
I’m just going through the motions
At the end of the day

Chorus (2nd time through)
At the end of the day
My love was exacting, demanding, commanding
Expects me to be a way,
A way I’ve outgrown
At the end of the day

BRIDGE

PC
I’m DONE going through the motions
At the end of the day

V3
Left the comforts
Of an unfulfilling life
Had to build a new

Piece by piece
It all fell apart
Something new emerged

Stripped down
I found my joy
of a life that’s free

PC
I’m NOT going through the motions
It’s a brand new day
