"At the End of Love" is the new full-length album by 2x GRAMMY nominated singer/songwriter Elsten Torres. This musical journey takes you on an earthy, emotionally textured trip, which is covered with the ambiguities and actualities of love. Every beginning has an end even love must face that reality but where does it go when it reaches that finish line? Within the many detours and complexities of broken feelings and whispered promises "At the End of Love" reflects musically the search for meaning in the vastness of it all".

You know that I hate to say goodbye
It always leaves my mouth so dry
Seems every time we slide onto our bed
I realize its selfishness, wishing the world would go away
And leave us here, side by side
If you stay closer tonight, tomorrow never has to know
If you stay closer tonight, then baby we can take it slow
If you stay closer tonight, I won’t allow the moon to change its glow
Darling I know that we follow our own dreams
Why does it always have to hurt so bad when you leave me once again
I recognize that its loneliness, taking the place of this emptiness
If you stay closer tonight, tomorrow never has to know
If you stay closer tonight, then baby we can take it slow
If you stay closer tonight, I won’t allow the moon to change its glow
So hold me close to you all night long
Don’t let go till we see it’s dawn
Yeah hold me strong, all night long….
If you stay closer tonight, tomorrow never has to know
If you stay closer tonight, then baby we can take it slow
If you stay closer tonight, I won’t allow the moon to change its glow

The sun warms my head but doesn’t reach my heart
The shelter we’ve made, has melted apart
I’m bleeding inside the tears that you shed
They break thru my skin but never leave my bed
Never leave my bed; they never leave my bed 3x
It hasn’t rained no nothing comes down
I’ll take the blame that you’re not around
I used you up, I never gave much…. waiting for clouds
You made it clear that you couldn’t feel (cause)
Love’s not a choice or some crooked deal
I spat on your scars and laughed at your pain
Darling I burn, but it’s cold where I lay
It hasn’t rained no nothing comes down
I’ll take the blame that you’re not around
I used you up, I never gave much…. waiting for clouds
Waiting for a cloud, with your ashes on the ground
The sun warms my head but doesn’t reach my heart
The shelter we’ve made, has melted apart….

When the moon is out and the sky is still blue…
I don’t know whose fault it is,
If the sun keeps shining while the rain pours in
And I’ve been here before; I don’t know how to feel…
So I’ll dance this dance alone….
Cause I’m Half-Hearted, yes I’m Half-Hearted,
I am Half-Hearted without you…
Cause the tears I cry last longer than the ones outside
I don’t know what day comes next,
When yesterday seems like all the rest
And I’ve lost my control; I don’t know what is real…
So I’ll dance this dance alone….
Cause I’m Half-Hearted, yes I’m Half-Hearted,
I am Half-Hearted without you…
Well, I’m Half-Hearted, yes I’m Half-Hearted,
I am Half-Hearted since you’re gone, since you’re gone…
I am Half-Hearted, Yes I’m Half-Hearted, I am Half-Hearted since you’re gone..

You’re gonna love me again when I’m gone
You’re gonna love me again when I’m gone
You’re gonna wake up one rainy day
And wonder why it went this way
You’re gonna love me again when I’m gone
You’re gonna see the light of your mistake
You’re gonna see the light of your mistake
You’re gonna find out a bit too late
That you messed around and ruined fate
You’re gonna see the light of your mistake
Cause when I’m gone, I’ll be gone
Yes when I’m gone, I’ll be gone
And you won’t be able to repeat my name
I’ll be Gone…La la la la…la la…la la…la da la da la
You’re gonna love me again when I’m gone
You’re gonna love me again when I’m gone
You’re gonna wake up on New Year’s day
And look around to see what you’ve made
You’re gonna love me again when I’m gone
Cause when I’m gone, I’ll be gone
Yes when I’m gone, I’ll be gone
And you won’t be able to repeat my name
I’ll be Gone…La la la la…la la…la la…la da la da la

Kaleidoscope leaves surrounding her tree
Some are brown some are red some never change
Continually they color every single mood that she makes
In her little world of fairy tales and possibilities
Autumn never gives in, till winter covers her skin
Girl…beautiful, sun shining Girl…Girl…let true love be your destiny
Wandering dreams on the walls of her room
And though some are big, some are small some seem the same
Apparently she knows exactly what she doesn’t want to reveal
Cause indifference, just becomes, something too real
Sadness doesn’t have time, in her veiled but innocent eyes
Girl… beautiful, sun shining Girl…Girl…let true love be your destiny
Sadness doesn’t have time, in her veiled & innocent eyes
Girl… beautiful, sun shining Girl…Girl…let true love be your destiny

Come back, to the place you were before you had to go,
Come back, to the person that you were before you changed,
Yesterday is waiting for you, holding on to who you are,
You don’t have to worry, Baby don’t be sorry
Everyone here knows your name…
Home is where your heart is, Come back where you started
So come back, even though you really feel you don’t belong
Come back, nothing’s been the same since you’ve been gone,
You can tell the world you’re happy,
Make believe that you’re ok…But you’re just drifting away….
You don’t have to worry, Baby don’t be sorry
Everyone here knows your name…
Home is where your heart is, Come back where you started

Borders all the ones we’ve made…
She doesn’t think the horizon is far away
Till she knows, till she knows…
A moment is longer than it seems
Memories linger till they’re dreams
Till she knows, till she knows…
