[Verse 1]
This is how it ends after all these years, tired of it all
Hopelessly, helplessly broken apart, he finally falls
He doesn't want to think, doesn't want to feel
Doesn't want to know what's going on
Says there's nothing he can do will change anything
He doesn't want to know what's going wrong
[Chorus 1]
'Cause he's in love with a drug, one that makes him numb
One that stops him feeling at all
He's in love with a drug, forget everyone
He really doesn't care anymore
Anymore
[Verse 2]
This is how it ends after all this time, everything just fades away
Worn-out and empty and all alone with nothing left to say
Oh, it's all too big to make a difference
It's all too wrong to make it right
Yeah everything is too unfair, everything's too much to bear
He doesn't have the strength left for the fight
[Chorus 2]
Says all he wants is the drug, the one that makes him numb
The one that stops him feeling at all
He just wants to take the drug, forget everyone
He doesn't want to care anymore
[Chorus 3]
Just keeps loving the drug, the one that makes him numb
The one that stops him from feeling at all
Just keeps loving the drug, the drug that he's become
He isn't really here anymore
[Outro]
And that makes me cry
