THE LAST ONE TO LOVE ME BACK

 

Look, I love you

But I go a little crazy

When you say that I don't

You say I'm forgetful of the troubled

Times when we struggled

But may I remind you

Of all the good times you've disowned

 

I haven't quite been the same

Since I got to see your face every day

Guess I just called to say

Before it all fades to black

That you're the last one I loved

And you're the last one to love me back

 

Fish in the sea

But I'm done taking chances

There's been way too much of that

Still, I leave a line in the water

Just to see who might bother

Swimming after something

Shiny and pretend

 

You weren't the best fit for me

We never had it easy

You're not the last one I held

You're not the last one I had

But you're the last one I loved

And you're the last one to love me back

 

I realize chances are slim

Sorry to make you go there again

But if you believe what you just said

That nothing compares to what we had

Why bother messing 'round town with him

And him

 

Look, I'm trying

I'm the one who called

And I'm doing my best to move on

My mind says it's time now to go

But my heart just looks up slowly

Unable to know

As I head out on my path

Will you be the last one I love

And the last one to love me back
