The Last Time
The Last Time
If I had somehow known
That the last time
Would be the very last time
Would I have turned around
And given comfort
Would that have been such a crime
Everyone around me
Feels that it’s their choice
To ignore my voice
Question my judgement
And each step I take
While my heart aches
Somehow I thought you’d come back again
And I’d let you in
Reaching for heaven but dipping slowly into sin
Believing
That it wasn’t too late
While trying but failing to
Turn love to hate
If I had somehow known
That I’d need a heart
As hard as stone
To move mountains
All on my own
But I didn’t know
I didn’t know
It’s so easy for others to make the call
To risk it all
When all they can offer are words
But it’s too late
I’ve already used them all
Over and over again
As I tumbled into free fall
Somehow I thought you’d come back again
And I’d let you in
Reaching for heaven but dipping slowly into sin
Believing
That it wasn’t too late
While trying but failing to
Turn love into hate
If I had somehow known
That the last time
Would be the very last time
Would I have turned around
Pretended I was blind
Spoke aloud what was on my mind
Would I have turned around
And touched your face
For the very last time
Would I?
