End of the Rope - They Might Be Giants

How thoughtless of me\nHow dumb can you be?\nHopeless, wasn’t that\nWhat you called me and in fact\nIt was even more true than you knew\nWhere did the end of the rope go?\nI forget now, did I let go?\nAfter you left me hanging on your words\nWhich hung down like a rope\nWhere did the end of it go?\nI’ll never know\nYou’re gone, but I’m still there\nClawing at the air\nNow it’s curtains for me\nAnd I’ll spend eternity\nDoing joyless cartwheels in the void\nWhere did the end of the rope go?\nI forget now, did I let go?\nLong ago you left me hanging on your words\nWhich hung down like a rope from the sky\nWhere did the end of it go?\nNo one can ever know\nWhere did the end of the rope go?\nI forget now, did I let go?\nOnce upon a time you left me hanging from your words\nWhich hung down in the ether like a rope from the sky\nWherever did the end of it go?\nNo one can ever know\nDescription 1 Contributor?\n«End of the Rope» was released in advance of They Might Be Giants' 2015 album,\nGlean\nThe song speaks about the confusion and feeling of helplessness that can occur\nwhen a person you were relying on gives up on you.
