Make It Last
the Savages Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make it or break it
You make my heart break
Every time you say you care
You leave
It makes my heart quake
When you make me wait
Is it fate
That my heart shakes
Feelings I can't contain
Memories on my brain
Ain't gone change
Makes my heart ache
Really experiencing
Heart break
Every time you say you care
You leave
It makes my heart quake
When you make me wait
Is it fate
That my heart shakes
Feelings I can't contain
Memories on my brain
Ain't gone change
Makes my heart ache
I remember dark days
No help
I'm by myself
Stuck in my dark place
Need you
To be the light
Show me
More than my dark ways
Be the light in my dark space
Show me I can be brighter
I can be
Lighter
Be a survivor
Be a real
Fighter
Who's there's plotting
Who's here knocking
Motivation someone to tell me I got this?
Devil telling me
I  don't need
No one else
To sit in the room
To feel overwhelmed
To give him control
Here put on this helm
I don't need you
And I don't need them
Its all he wants
In the end
Devil becoming my friend
Till its me & him
Me & all my sins
So
I sit in the room & repent to
God
And you were the angel he sent
Whom I spent
All my time
Showed me why
My light shines
So now I'm feeling devine
Inside I'm feeling all fine
Wait its a lie
Read between the lines
Your not an angel
Your just a demon
With a halo
Want me to do what you say so
You can feed off of my pain
Though
I doubt it'll feel painful
But I stay loyal
Remain faithful
Cause you can't enter my domain
Unless I say so
Go away
Im Feeling all this pain
I'll survive through this
& know
Its knowledge that I'll gain
Learning to stay in my lane
Cause everything meant for me
Is in here
This ain't no game
Life ain't no game
So watch where you play
And watch what you intake
Even I make mistakes
But nobodies perfect
So isn't that great?
But still
You find every way
You find every way
To make my heart break
Every time you say you care
You leave
It makes my heart quake
When you make me wait
Is it fate
That my heart shakes
Feelings I can't contain
Memories
on my brain
Ain't gone change
Makes my heart ache
really experiencing
Heart break
Every time you say you care
Then leave
It makes my heart quake
When you make me wait
Is it fate
That my heart shakes
Feelings I can't contain
Memories on my brain
Ain't gone change
Makes my heart ache
I remember dark days
No help
I'm by myself
Stuck in my dark place
Need you
To be the light
Show me
More than my dark ways
Be the light in my dark space
Show me I can be brighter
I can be
Lighter
Be a survivor




Be a real
Fighter

For those unaware. This is Oliver Stone giving us the middle finger cinematically.

This ending always felt more Studio Mandated then anything. It always rang false to me given everything we've seen up to this point. Now if only this would've been the "Fake Out" and the other ending with pretty much everyone dead would've been the "Real One" I would've rated the movie a lot higher.

@Scorpio_-qh4mt

this is literally the most realistic ending to a movie like this that could be based on some true story lol

@peterfrank3365

The song is 'Do Ya' by Electric Light Orchestra. Personally, a big fan of the band. I always appreciate it whenever ELO songs are used in movies.

@kmassicott

No one die in the ending it a bittersweet ending
