How songwriters use these rhymes
There's the word for end, and the older word for bend, and the song between them.

She gave the end away, then watched it come back as bends.
Track the vowel from end to aired and you have the chorus.
The end at the start of the line, the band tucked inside it, same consonant frame.
Why end rhymes the way it does
End sits on the front /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and lands on a nasal-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 95 matches, family rhymes 5, additive and subtractive together 120, assonance 12,553, and consonance 420. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. End is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
