The second single from A Celebration of Endings is a direct contrast from Instant History, being much heavier, aggressive and a less traditional song structure.
[Verse 1]
This is not a love song
That was just a phase
Now the sweet’s turned sour
The secure starts to dislocate
Hopelessly devoted, ridiculed by charm
You were the light of my life
And now you’re in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not your fault
But I am your problem
[Chorus]
I’ll tell you right now
I would have fucking died for you
You wouldn’t know how
To be a friend
You’re ill-prepared
Woah, end of your testimony
Woah, I want everything you owe me
Woah, no time for ceremony now
‘Cause it’s the end of the start
[Verse 2]
Eventually you’ll notice

And the fakes start to disappear
Your enemy’s the closest friend you’ll ever make
If you look hard enough
They’re one and the same
[Chorus]
I’ll tell you right now
I would have fucking died for you
You wouldn’t know how
To be a friend
You’re ill-prepared
Woah, end of your testimony
Woah, I want everything you owe me
Woah, no time for ceremony now
‘Cause it’s the end of the start
‘Cause it’s the end of the start
[Bridge]
End of...
End of...
End of...
End of...
End of...
End of...
[Chorus]
Woah, end of your testimony
Woah, I want everything you owe me
Woah, no time for ceremony now
‘Cause it’s the end of the start
‘Cause it’s the end of the start
[Outro]
I got your testimony
I got your testimony

“This wakes you back up again. I feel like the start of the song is like when you’re outside a dirty club and you’re quite scared to go in. But you want to go in. You want to get in there and just feel like a 14-year-old. I specifically think of The Arches in Glasgow, which is a really dirty place....
