Tethered Lyrics by Badflower

This Is How the World Ends

2021

[Verse 1]
She's younger than she looks
But she’s old enough to know
The nature of this world
And so the story goes
She's dressed up like her friends
But she's prettier than them
The whole room turns to look
Like something from a book

[Refrain]
Ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
Then speech becomes a slur
She’s talking to some creep
Uncomfortable as hell
But too polite to leave
Then lines begin to blur
There's something in her drink
She stumbles to his car
And no one says a thing

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh my love, you're so young

[Chorus]
Some might say she's able to get back her normal life
When you love someone unwillingly, you leave yourself behind
You're hiding in the bathroom and you pray for better times
Say you're gonna leave him there and find a better life

[Verse 3]
Down the rabbit hole
She wakes up in his bed
Confused about her heart
And bruised between the legs
But she's too afraid to leave
Or bite the hand that hits
She tells herself it's love
Then plays along with it

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh my friend, you’re still young

[Chorus]
Some might say she’s able to get back her normal life
When you love someone unwillingly, you leave yourself behind
You're hiding in the bathroom and you pray for better times
Say you’re gonna leave him there and find a better life

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)
Run (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh)

[Bridge]
Abused at 17
Some unrelenting creep
The father of her son

[Chorus]
Some might say she's able to get back her normal life
When you love someone unwillingly, you leave yourself behind
You're hiding in the bathroom and you pray for better times
Say you're gonna leave him there and find a better life

[Outro]
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Ah, find a better life
Oh, find a better life
