The Unhappy Ending (Lead Me On) Lyrics

Tears subsiding, Michael lifts the gun up to his head
Sorry for the part he played in making Maggie dead
As he pulls the trigger and he feels the hammer fall
His mind goes back a year ago, and he remembers all, and how he loved her

 Chorus:
Oh, lead me on, lead me on, Lord, lead me on
Oh, lead me on, lead me on, Lord, lead me on

She said she'd been with other men, but that was long ago
Long before she fell in love with him, he ought to know
But Michael would not believe her, he told her to her face
And then took on with another girl, put Maggie in disgrace

chorus

But when they found her dying, he realized what he'd done
She'd died because he'd blamed her for things she'd never done
A loud explosion rocks the air, and things go quite insane
As the gun hurls out the shell that crashes through his brain

chorus repeats out
