Beginning (Of the End) - Todd Rundgren, John Boutte

It’s really over, now it’s done

Never thought I’d see the day

But it’s finally come

The slate is clean

The slate is clean

Yes it is

Yes it is

Now I can move on

But I woke up this morning incomplete

Something like a shadow haunts my sleep

Made myself a promise

I’m not sure I can keep

I had that burden off my shoulder

And I was sure that it was over

But it’s the beginning of the end

Tell myself that I’m winning

But it’s pointless to pretend

Though the habit may be broken

The desire comes back again

And you never know just when

At the beginning of the end

It’s time that I got honest with myself

A man can do a lot of things with nobody’s help

I’m never never never never never never never going back

Into that hell

But there’s some things you can’t achieve all alone

You can feel strong, you can feel weak, and sometimes you just don’t know

In the midnight hour

When you reach for the phone

Where’s an angel when you need one?

A rock that you can lean on

When you’re at the beginning of the end

Told myself I was winning

But it’s pointless to pretend

Though the habit may be broken

The desire comes back again

And you never know just when

At the beginning of the end
