[Verse 1]
You found me
Curled on the mattress
Teeth like glass
Hands that shook
You said
“Baby
This ain’t living”
I just laughed
And took another look
You held my head up
When I was drowning
In the dust
Of my own lies
You stayed through
Every cold December
Til your hope
Finally died
[Chorus]
This is the last time I let you down
‘cause there won’t be
Another round
You walked away
And I stayed bound
To the devil that I kiss
When you’re not around
I lost the only thing
I ever did right
For one more hit
One more night
[Verse 2]
You packed your books
Your faded sweater
Left your key
On the kitchen plate
Said
“I’m tired
Of talking to your shadow
I’m tired
Of dying while I wait”
I swore
I’d meet you in the morning
Clear eyes
Steady breath
But the sun came up
On an empty mirror
Just me
And the scent of death
[Chorus]
This is the last time I let you down
‘cause there won’t be
Another round
You walked away
And I stayed bound
To the devil that I kiss
When you’re not around
I lost the only thing
I ever did right
For one more hit
One more night
[Bridge]
Your coffee cup
Still on the counter
Lipstick ring
Faded pink
I trace it
With these busted fingers
Shake so hard
I spill my drink (oh God)
If I had
Just one more promise
And a spine
That wouldn’t bend
Would you hear
A word I’m saying
Or just whisper
“This is the end”?
[Chorus]
This is the last time I let you down
And it’s the one
That counts the most
I traded you
For a slow decay
For a ghost
That loves me close
You were the only thing
I ever did right
Now it’s just me
And this poison
Every night
