Until the End is the third single by Breaking Benjamin from their album, Phobia. The original pressing of the song, which can be found on the band's third album "Phobia," contained two uses of profanity. A radio version was released, which simply skips over the word in question. In doing so, slight changes were made so the song flowed well all the while skipping a part of the song. At the point of the skip, there is the addition of a cymbal part as well as a guitar part that is the same as the song's intro. Both of these changes only last for a moment before the guitar solo begins and the song continues on as it was originally written. The song was posted on Breaking Benjamin's Myspace page and said to be a future single on July 10, 2007; its release was announced that same night on The Shallow Bay Radio, Breaking Benjamin's online radio station. The original date was for July 10, 2007, but was moved to October 2. The song debuted at #35 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in its first week after being released, as so did Breaking Benjamin's biggest single, "Breath," which eventually went to number one the chart and remained at number one for 7 weeks. "Until the End" has peaked at number 6 so far. "Until the End" debuted at number 38 on the Modern Rock Chart. Breaking Benjamin's most successful singles on this chart were "So Cold" and "Breath," both of which peaked at number 3. Until the End has peaked at number 21 so far on the modern rock chart.


The song is about moving on after an abusive relationship, and is best known for its summarizing lyrics: "why give up/why give in/ its not enough/it never is/so i will go on until the end/.
