Doesn't End Well
The First Step Into Hell
This song was created using my lyrics with Suno.
Lyrics:
verse 1
from the outside looking in
i know it seems
like a simple choice
take a step back
from the things
slowly killing off your voice
and everybody keeps asking me
what ten more years
like this will do
like if i say
the future out loud
i’ll finally see
some clearer truth
but i already know
every outcome
every version
i could be
and that’s exactly why
i keep saying
the choice doesn’t belong to me
chorus
because walking away
doesn’t end well
it’s just the first step
into another hell
and saying what i need
don’t help
it just spills onto
everybody else
don’t you know what happens
if i ask the question?
this mess gets bigger than
what i’m already in
post-chorus
and the light
still won’t touch my skin
my day still starts
in the dark again
verse 2
i can imagine it every day
a different life
another way
i’ve done the cost benefit analysis
and i can’t afford
to pay for this
and maybe you can’t tell
from looking in
you think it’s fear
and i’m confused
but i already know
what happens next
that’s why it doesn’t feel
simple to choose
and let’s acknowledge
that it’s reckless
to take on more
while i’m screaming for rest
i think we both know
it’ll just add
fuel to a fire
that was already bad
bridge
because i don’t just
picture asking
i picture every
consequence
who gets hurt
and who hurts me
some change costs more
than common cents
yeah, i know
you see fear
i don’t deny
what you see is true
but from where i’m standing
there’s no version
that doesn’t lose
final chorus
because walking away
doesn’t end well
it’s just the first step
into another hell
and saying what i need
don’t help
it just spills onto
everybody else
don’t you know what happens
if i ask the question?
this mess gets bigger than
what i’m already in
post-chorus
and the light
still won’t touch my skin
my day still starts
in the dark again
