About

This song is written from the perspective of someone trying to help an old friend who has wandered down a bad path (implied to be one of substance abuse and addiction).

Everyone else has left them as their behaviour has become incredibly destructive to those around them, but the narrator chooses to...

End Of Me Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ben Kowalewicz]
Well I see you walking down a dead-end street
Like a black cat following a limousine
A brand new problem every time we meet
But the same old reason that the grass ain't green
So self-entitled and your talk is cheap
Leave a path of destruction every time you speak
You burned your bridges but I just won't leave
'Cause I can't help caring about a friend in need

[Chorus 1: Ben Kowalewicz and Ian D'Sa]
You dragged me down to a hole so deep
I'm crawling out on my hands and knees
I'd stick around but I know it's gonna be
The end of me

[Verse 2: Rivers Cuomo]
I see you making all the same mistakеs
Try to help but you throw it back into my face
You quit your job, say your life's so hard
But you can't pay for dinnеr with the victim card
Yeah, you're as subtle as a wrecking ball (ooh, ooh)
If you stole my keys you'd crash my car and
Win the lottery and still complain
We all know someone that we just can't change

[Chorus 1: Ben Kowalewicz and Ian D'Sa]
You dragged me down to a hole so deep
I'm crawling out on my hands and knees
I'd stick around but I know it's gonna be
The end of me

[Post-Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz, Ian D'Sa and Rivers Cuomo]
I wanna get closer to you
But how am I supposed to get through?
Keep putting out fires but the flames get higher
I gotta stop listening to you
I'm gonna get hurt if I do
I'm getting so tired of preaching to the choir

[Chorus 2: Ben Kowalewicz and Ian D'Sa]
I said goodbye and I wished you well
But you kept dragging me back to hell
I'd stick around but I know it's gonna be
The end of me

[Guitar solo]

[Post-Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz, Ian D'Sa and Rivers Cuomo]
I wanna get closer to you
But how am I supposed to get through?
Keep putting out fires but the flames get higher
I gotta stop listening to you
I'm gonna get hurt if I do
I'm getting so tired of preaching to the choir

[Chorus 1: Ben Kowalewicz and Ian D'Sa]
You dragged me down to a hole so deep
I'm crawling out on my hands and knees
I'd stick around but I know it's gonna be
The end of me

What have the artists said about the song?

Ian D'Sa:

I had the song and it sounded to me like Hendrix-meets-Weezer, and Ben was like, ‘We should get Rivers on this!’ And I’m like, ‘He’d never do that, man’. And sure enough, we did reach out and he loved the tune.

What have the artists said about the song?

Ben Kowalewicz:

It’s a very strange thing—when [Weezer’s] The Blue Album came out, we were just starting to figure out our instruments and used to cover “My Name Is Jonas”. When Ian played me this song for the first time, my jaw dropped—it embodied that ‘90s alt-rock Pinkerton vibe to me. We finish...
