Alt.end
Cure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah it's a big bright beautiful world
Just the other side of the door
Six billion beautiful faces
But I saw them all before...

No this is not about running out on you
Not a case of right or wrong
It's only that it's over and done for me
It's already been and gone

And I don't want another go round - I don't want to start again
No I don't want another go round - I want this to be the end
I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again
I want this to be the last thing we do
It for me and you...

For all my dreams came true
Yeah I know I should care if you come with me
Yeah and I should care if you go
Really should care about your love or your hate of me
Yeah I should care...but I don't

And it's not about giving up on you
It's not a case of do or die
It's simply that it's over and out for me
There's no more room inside

And I don't want another run around - I don't want to start again
No I don't want another run around - I want this to be the end
I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again
I want this to be the last thing we do
It for me and you...

Yeah it's a big bright beautiful world out there
Just the other side of this door
Six billion beautiful faces await
But I saw it all before...

No this is not about running out on you
Not a case of right or wrong
It's only that it's over and done for me
It's already been and gone

And I don't want another go around - I don't want to start again
No I don't want another go around - I want this to be the end
I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again
I want this to be the last thing we do - this to be it for me and you
This to be the last we go through




This to be the end
For all my dreams came true

Lyrics:

Yeah it's a big bright beautiful world
Just the other side of the door
Six billion beautiful faces
But I saw them all before...

Now this is not about running out on you
Not a case of right or wrong
It's only that it's over and done for me
It's already been and gone

And I don't want another go around - I don't want to start again
Now I don't want another go around - I want this to be the end
I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again
I want this to be the last thing we do
It for me and you...

For all my dreams... came true...

It's a big bright beautiful world out there
Just the other side of this door
Six billion beautiful faces await
I saw 'em all before...

Now this is not about running out on you
Not a case of right or wrong
It's only that it's over and done for me
It's already been and gone

And I don't want another go around - I don't want to start again
Oh I don't want another go around - I want this to be the end
I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again
I want this to be the last thing we do - this to be it for me and you
This to be the last we go through
This to be the end
For all my dreams came true

@MCRhasAFireInside

wow! robert smith (and morrissey) never lost their voice even in older age. they are amazing..

@MephProduction

and 8 years since your comment.. it's still relevant

@completoitalianoconchucrut1317

@@MephProduction and the song is still underrated

@GlenTropile

Not saying they aren't amazing, but losing your voice isn't always a matter of letting things slip. Things happen and getting run into the ground does it too. Unlike like tour guitars and amps, you can't just replace them.

Shinji, definitely agree. Think the album is pretty underrated in general.

@birightswilbursoot6048

The only thing is that Robert kept his respect but morrissey didn’t

@abrahamanthony3011

Robert by far is a better musician and human being than Morrisey

@xgothax

I still can't realize that i've become fan of The Cure just 3 months ago. And it's the best thing that has ever happened to me. Where the fuck was I before???

@davidsiuraneta

xgothax Never too late!

@ClepsidraSideral

I'm one month in. Asked myself the same.
