"The Last Song"

This may be the last thing that I write for long

Can you hear me smiling when I sing this song,

for you and only you

As I leave will you be someone to say good-bye?

As I leave will you be someone to wipe your eye?

My foot is out the door, and you can't stop me now

You wanted the best

It wasn't me

Will you give it back?

Now I'll take the lead

When there's no more room to make it grow

I'll see you again

You'll pretend you're naive

Is this what you want?

Is this what you need?

How you end up? Let me know

As I go, remember all the simple things you know,

My mind is just a crutch and I still hope,

That you will miss me when I'm gone

This is the last song

The hearts start breaking as the year is gone

The dream's beginning and the time rolls on

It seems so surreal

And now I sing it

Somehow I knew that it would be this way,

Somehow I knew that it would slowly fade.

And now I am gone

Just try and stop me now.

You wanted the best

It wasn't me

Will you give it back?

Now I'll take the lead

When there's no more room to make it grow

I'll see you again

You'll pretend you're naive

Is this what you want?

Is this what you need?

How you end up? Let me know

As I go, remember all the simple things you know,

My mind is just a crutch and I still hope,

That you will miss me when I'm gone

This is the last song.

Will you need me now, you'll find the way somehow

You want it too, I want it too.

As I go, remember all the simple things you know,

My mind is just a crutch and I still hope,

That you will miss me when I'm gone

The last song.

As I go, remember all the simple things you know,

My mind is just a crutch and I still hope,

That you will miss me when I'm gone

This is the last song.
