Q&A

In the End Lyrics

It's the price I guess
For the lies I've told
That the truth it no longer thrills me

And why can't we laugh?
When it's all we have
Have we put these childish things away?
Have we lost the magic that we once had?

In the end
There's nothing more to life than love is there?
In the end
It's time for us to lose our weary minds

Will you dance with me?
Like we used to dance
And remember how to move together

You are the truth
And it all makes sense
I've waited here for you forever
I've waited here for you forever

We're lost 'til we learn how to ask
So please won't you please just ask

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.

Love Gary. Love the band. First time hearing this song; I just listened to it via YouTube. I think it's about someone who wants things to be as they were (fun; light-hearted; easy; etc) before lies got in between the two people. S/he doesn't wish to hear the truth because it's painful and not easy. Keeping things light is much more comfortable (and comforting). It's the "magic" s/he wants....those good feelings s/he felt in the past before the truth got in the way. Great song...really good lyrics and feel.
