tragic endings by Tamar Berk

Official "tragic endings" Lyrics

Tragic endings happen all the time.
Will I be any different?
Standing, crying in the check-out line
Don’t want the lady to see me read about
Another reality queen
Lost her man, her home, her dream.
So I fumble for my keys and I wonder what she thinks of me?

I read the endings of books before
I even turn to the beginning.
My heart can’t take surprises anymore
I’m losing faith in happy endings.
And so it is another restless day
I need to get away.
Somewhere by an ocean breeze and I wonder if you’ll go with me?

Don’t you tell me it’s gonna be alright
That’s not where my head is right now.
Just wanna paint the picture in black and white
So I can be prepared for the worst-case scenario.

Unanswered letters happen all the time
Will this be any different?
I try to sit and plan what I might write
But I’ll just blame it on a misprint.
And so it goes another sleepless night
Feeling so damn uptight.
And I try to tell you in my dream that I wonder if you’ll wait for me?

Don’t you tell me I should really hang on
until the story’s over.
Just wanna know exactly who’s right or wrong
and finally get some closure.
And don’t you promise me that things will work out fine
That’s not what I’ve seen lately.
Just wanna know the ending that’s my battle cry
So I can be prepared for the worst-case scenario.
