The Perfect End Lyrics

Look at me and tell me what you see
I am not what you think I am
Too weird to live, too rare to die
Haloed in the headlights of death
Is this Hell disguised as heaven?
Is this death masquerading as life?
So much is said, so little shown
I see no reason, I feel no end

This is not a happy ending
This is not a last goodbye
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end

This is not a new beginning
This is not a last farewell
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end

Stitched up like a ragged doll
Wrapped around your naked soul
I am what you know as temptation
I am the ancient deception

I wish I could leave this world behind
I wish I had the will to end it all
But I shall paint my nightmares
And things will never be the same again

This is not a happy ending
This is not a last goodbye
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end

This is not a new beginning
This is not a last farewell
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end

Look at me and tell me what you see 
I am not what you think I am 
Too weird to live, too rare to die 
Haloed in the headlights of death 
Is this Hell disguised as heaven? 
Is this death masquerading as life? 
So much is said, so little shown 
I see no reason, I feel no end

This is not a happy ending 
This is not a last goodbye 
Open your eyes and stop pretending 
This is not the perfect end

This is not a new beginning 
This is not a last farewell 
Open your eyes and stop pretending 
This is not the perfect end

Stitched up like a ragged doll 
Wrapped around your naked soul 
I am what you know as temptation 
I am the ancient deception

I wish I could leave this world behind 
I wish I had the will to end it all 
But I shall paint my nightmares 
And things will never be the same again

This is not a happy ending 
This is not a last goodbye 
Open your eyes and stop pretending 
This is not the perfect end

This is not a new beginning 
This is not a last farewell 
Open your eyes and stop pretending 
This is not the perfect end

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song's chorus relates well to a certain someone I know and the situation we're currently in.

It's an awesome song, too.
