The Last Time

The Last Time

The last time that we spoke, you called me on the phone

It was Christmas Eve, and I was all alone

You had another girl, and she didn't know you cared about me still

So I spared no unkind words to your good will

And we never spoke again

This isn't how our story's meant to end
But sometimes something special just ain't over
Until you cut the cord and do a drastic thing
You gotta lash right out and sometimes you gotta scream

And take your time away to heal and grow new limbs

Shed those weak old branches, get over him

But what hurts most (is this)

 

I never got to say good-bye the right way

So here's to saying hi again someday
We've grown apart it's so cliche
But cliche's happen that's why they're cliches

The last time we embraced, you met me at a bar
It was a place by your favorite comic store
You didn't have to meet me but you knew I'd be there
And you couldn't help yourself from being polite
You were always so kind - kindness was your middle name
You cared about people, you cared about the earth
I don't really think that has changed
But I had to make you stop caring about me
So I had to lash out and show you crazy

This isn't how our story's meant to end
But sometimes something special just ain't over
Until you cut the cord and do a drastic thing
You gotta lash right out and sometimes you gotta scream
And take your time away to heal and grow new limbs
Shed those weak old branches, get over him
But what hurts most (is this)

I never got to say good-bye the right way
So here's to saying hi again someday
We've grown apart it's so cliche
But cliche's happen that's why they're cliche's

The last time I dreamed of you

You were walking toward me

You were smiling like I'd never seen you smile

The past was behind us, we were new people now

I hope that day comes soon.
