Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here I am, writing my last song for you
Hear the words carefully and you'll see
It's you I'm leaving, don't want to be the one
To tell you that I can't stay another day
[Verse 2]
I'll throw the pages on the floor, I'm starting over like before
I'll change this stupid ending and stay with you forever more
But when I'm lying next to you it's hard to bargain with the truth
'Cause when you know the love is gone, the time has come
To write your last song
[Verse 3]
There you are, smiling at me from the next room
Beautiful as the first day I met you and I'm so sorry
I couldn't be the one to love you
The way that you deserve to be
[Verse 4]
I'll throw the pages on the floor, I'm starting over like before
I'll change this stupid ending and stay with you forever more
But when I'm lying next to you it's hard to bargain with the truth
'Cause when you know the love is gone, the time has come
To write your last song
[Verse 5]
It's hard to think of you and I as total strangers
I've lived this last goodbye a million times or more
In my mind, my mind, my mind
[Verse 6]
Oh, and I'm gonna miss you but I can't go back
Even just to kiss you 'cause I can't exist
Just living a lie, gotta lot of love to give
You know, before I die and as I watch you
Sing along, it's killing me that it's your last song
