"When You Reach The End" lyrics

"When You Reach The End"

When you reach the end
You cannot complain to the manager
No returns, no exchanges
Life is not refundable
Your body is just packaging
Sent back for recycling
There never was a warranty
Make the best of it until it's time to go
Make the best of it until it's time to go

When you reach the end
You'll have to turn in all your memories
All the the good ones and the ugly ones
Will replay through all eternity
And we'll gather 'round in circles
Telling stories of who we thought we were
Are you proud are you embarrassed?
Take one last look and then it's time to go
Take one last look and then it's time to go
It's time to go

When you reach the end you'll see
Life is simple carpentry
You're given all the tools you need
To build your own reality
Did you spend your time making heaven?
Or did you make your own hell?
Be honest with yourself, because
What you build is where you get to go
What you build is where you get to go
What you build is where you get to go

What you build is where you get to go

When you reach the end it's true
Life goes on without you
And the last two thoughts inside of you
Are: "I'm sorry!" and "I love you!"
And as you fade into a memory
They'll measure up your heart to see
How much love you kept buried
And how much love you were brave enough to show
How much love were you brave enough to show?
How much love were you brave enough to show?

How much love are you brave enough to show?
