In The End - Belasco

in the end

they said it won’t seem long

for you and i

they’ll steal your heart

with subtle brittle bones

just like you and i

taste the snow

give back to those you hurt

along the way

and if i fail

it’s down to only me, just me

if we all want one thing

i’m going to try and make it easy

i’ll hold you up

i’ll hold you up my boy

'til you become a man

in the end

they’ll just be like you and i

they’ll flee the nest

and you and i will shudder

no more

if we all want one thing

i’m going to try and make it easy

i’ll hold you up

i’ll hold you up

if we all had nothing

but the thought of what we wanted

i’ll hold you up

i’ll hold you up my boy

so you can try again

i’ve got to ask

would you do it all again?

if we all want one thing

i’m going to try and make it easy

i’ll hold you up

some pull you down

we struggled hard

worth the time

if we all want one thing

i’m going to try and make it easy

i’ll hold you up

i’ll hold you up

if we all had nothing

but the thought of what we wanted

i’ll hold you up

i held you up my boy when you

became a man
