The Last Night
Laying my head down tonight
I need to rest
My heart is heavy
I wish you could hear me
I wish you could see me
Laying here
I wonder a lot
How much you remember
How much I forgot
I wonder what the hell
I was even thinking
When I gave away
All my time
To you
Tell me again
I've got everything to fight for
When I'm wasting away
Tell me one last time
This won't end
In a lie
That I won't
Hear myself whisper goodbye
Tell me
Like you mean it
That you love me
And will do
Whatever you have to
To get back to me
Make it right
Because I can't live this way
I can't spend another night
Like this one
So make it real
Make it right
I feel it slipping away
Day by day
You said
You promised me
You said so many sweet things
And I believed in every one
And now look at me
I come undone
For the last time
The tears
They burn
And I hate you
For leaving me here
Alone in the dark
Reaching for a ghost
An almost
Not quite there
An almost
So end it
Cut the limb off
A clean break
If that's the only way
If you and I
Have tired every option
And road
And you just don't know
You just don't get it
Then forget it
Forget us
Because I put my trust
In you
And all it got me
Was let down
And I can't go back
I can't undo
What you were to me
All the years
The fight
Every single night
You held me
I want it all back
But tonight
Is the last night
I lose sleep over you
