The Final Act

‘Mind over matter’ is what people say
‘You’ve come this far, don’t throw it all away’
I’ve never been a quitter by heart
But in this scene I’ve played my part

If I was on a train it’d be the end of the line
Or the last glass from a bottle of wine
But when that last sip has finally been tasted 
You start to regret the drops that were wasted
