The End - Halsey

Every couple of years now, a doctor says I'm sick

Pulls out a brand new bag of tricks, and then they lay it on me

And at first, it was my brain, then a skeleton in pain

And I don't like to complain, but I'm saying sorry

When I met you, I thought I was damaged goods

Had a fucked-up childhood

And there's poison in my brain and in my blood

If you knew it was the end of the world

Could you love me like a child?

Could you hold me in the dark?

If you knew it was the end of the world

Would you like to stay a while?

Would you leave when it gets hard?

So I ran into the clinic and I asked to see the man

With his white coat and his stethoscope like a snake around his hand

And I told him I'm not bitter 'cause I finally found a lover

Who's better for my liver, and now I'll finally recover

When I met him, I thought I was damaged goods

From a real bad neighborhood

So we wrestled in the mud

And I told him he could stay right where he stood

But I don't know if he should

'Cause once my God destroys the flesh, then there's the flood

If you knew it was the end of the world

Could you love me like a child?

Could you hold me in the dark?

If you knew it was the end of the world

Would you like to stay a while?

Maybe we could build an ark

We could sail on broken driftwood through the sopping wet terrain

And count the buildings and the bodies getting swallowed by the rain

And in the water, there's the doctor who didn't listen to my claim

What a shame, he's circling a drain

When I met you, I said I would never die

But the joke was always mine 'cause I'm racing against time

And I know it's not the end of the world, but could you pick me up at 8?

'Cause my treatment starts today
