Ending Song
Composition, lyrics, arrangement, and singing by Michelle Ning Lo

Using an old pen, I write down my last song
The past was all just one big illusion
Those merciless memories

Brutal time takes away sweetness
Leaving loneliness drowning my heart
Solitude and silence eat at my life
Agony extends its beat

I’ve seen
A rose that wishes to weep, but the tears only make it wither faster
Unlike an antique, which only needs to wait quietly
The older it gets, the more it is worth
The love songs of the past, the perfect compositions
They’ve all fallen apart
With questions still unanswered, my heart still unable to let go
I end the ending song

If past times lost the sweetness
There would only be loneliness left, polluting my heart
Without you, how do I live?
Tears extend their beat

I’ve seen
A rose that wishes to weep, but the tears only make it wither faster
If something beautiful doesn’t keep, it only becomes garbage
No one remembers our love song
Its time has already past
With our hands still hooked together, but our love nowhere to be found
We end the ending song

A rose that wishes to weep, but the tears only make it wither faster
Unlike an antique, which only needs to wait quietly
The older it gets, the more it is worth
I’m unable to sing the love songs of the past anymore
You’ve also left
With the space beside me empty, with my heart also empty
I end the ending song

I end the ending song
