Last Time I’ll Love You

I packed your hoodie, left it on the bed

Still smells like you, still messin’ with my head

You said we’d be forever, I believed

But sometimes love just learns to leave

You didn’t cheat, you didn’t lie

But somewhere we just said goodbye

With empty eyes, and tired fights

We held on ‘til we lost the light

So this is the last time I’ll love you

The last time I cry in the dark

The last time I beg silence for answers

While you’re drifting away with my heart

I’ll whisper your name into the wind

But I won’t let it break me again

This is the last time, yeah…

The last time I’ll love you

We used to talk like we were all we’d need

Now we pass by like strangers on the street

I’d rather feel pain than feel this space

Where your hand used to find my face

I kept your picture, but I’ll let it fade

Like every promise we couldn’t save

No one’s to blame, no words to fight

Just a slow fall out of the light

So this is the last time I’ll love you

The last time I ache in my bones

The last time I write you in verses

Like you’re still coming home

I’ll hold on ‘til the morning is new

But I won’t keep holding on to you

This is the last time, yeah…

The last time I’ll love you

Maybe in another life, we’d get it right

But this one taught me how to say goodbye

With love, with grace, with everything

I never got the chance to sing

This is the last time I’ll love you

The last time I bleed for a dream

The last time I leave part of me

In the spaces where we used to be

I won’t hate you, I won’t stay

But I’ll miss you every day

Still… this is the last time

The last time I’ll love you

Goodbye…

Even if you never say it back.
