TRIBUNMANADO.COM - It Ends Tonight - The All-American Rejects adalah lagu dari album Move Along (2005).

Lagu ini merupakan salah satu karya mereka yang paling emosional, dengan perpaduan pop-punk, rock, dan ballad yang cukup kuat.

Secara makna, lagu ini bercerita tentang sebuah hubungan yang sudah berada di titik akhir.

Ketika seseorang akhirnya menyadari bahwa terus mempertahankan hubungan tersebut hanya akan membuat keadaan semakin buruk.

Berikut lirik lengkapnya:

Your subtleties, they strangle me
I can't explain myself at all
And all the wants and all the needs
All I don't want to need at all
The walls start breathin', my mind's unweavin'
Maybe it's best you leave me alone
A weight is lifted on this evenin'
I give the final blow

When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight, it ends tonight

A fallin' star, at least I fall alone
I can't explain what you can't explain
You're findin' things that you didn't know
I look at you with such disdain
The walls start breathin', my mind's unweavin'
Maybe it's best you leave me alone
A weight is lifted on this evenin'
I give the final blow

When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight, it ends tonight
Just a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight, it ends tonight
It ends tonight

Now I'm on my own side
It's better than bein' on your side
It's my fault when you're blind
It's better that I see it through your eyes
All these thoughts locked inside
Now you're the first to know

When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight, it ends tonight
Just a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight, it ends tonight
It ends, when darkness turns to light
It ends tonight, it ends tonight
Just a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight, it ends tonight
It ends tonight
Tonight, insight
When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight
