End of the Road
Chris Doran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't have no time for you to be playing with my heart like this
You'll be mine forever baby
You just wait
We belong together
And you know that I am right
Why do you play with my heart?
Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me and leave me and never
Say goodbye?
When I can't sleep at night
Without holding you tight
Girl, each time I try I just break down and cry
Pain in my head
Oh, I'd rather be dead
Spinning around and around
Although we've come
To the end of the road
Still I can't let go
It's unnatural
You belong to me
I belong to you
Although we've come
To the end of the road
Still I can't let go
It's unnatural
You belong to me
I belong to you
Girl, I know you really love me
You...
The lyrics to "End of the Road" by Chris Doran express the hurt and confusion felt by someone who is struggling to understand why their relationship has come to an end. The singer pleads with his ex-girlfriend, reminding her of the love they once shared and the promises they made to each other. He questions why she played with his heart and mind, leaving him without even saying goodbye. The pain is so intense that he can't sleep at night and even contemplates suicide, as the world seems to spin out of control.
Despite the fact that they have reached the end of the road, where the relationship has run out of steam and there seems to be no way back, the singer cannot let go. It feels unnatural to him, as if they are meant to be together. He asserts that they belong to each other, and no matter how much time has passed or how much they have changed, that connection remains intact.
