[Verse 1]
You said you'd call by ten
I watched that phone go cold
Your laugh was down the block
I was left out in the hall
Your coat was on the chair
Your keys were in my hand
But you were gone again
Like I never had a chance
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep hearing your steps
In the other room
I keep making room for you
But you never do
[Chorus]
I'm the last in line
I'm the last in line
You pick the world every time
And leave me behind
I'm the last in line
I'm the last in line
I keep reaching out for you
But you let me die inside
(last in line)
[Verse 2]
Your friends got all your nights
And that bottle got your days
You look right through my face
Then you drift away
I learned your empty stare
I know that stolen smile
You say "I'll make it up"
But you say that all the while
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep hearing your steps
In the other room
I keep making room for you
But you never do
[Chorus]
I'm the last in line
I'm the last in line
You pick the world every time
And leave me behind
I'm the last in line
I'm the last in line
I keep reaching out for you
But you let me die inside
(last in line)
[Bridge]
If I scream, do you hear?
If I break, do you care?
I'm a shadow in your house
Just breathing thin air
I don't need perfect love
I just need you here
But you keep slipping past
And I disappear
[Final Chorus]
I'm the last in line
I'm the last in line
You pick the world every time
And leave me behind
I'm the last in line
I'm the last in line
I keep reaching out for you
But you let me die inside
(last in line)
I'm the last in line
I'm the last in line
If you won't choose me now
Then don't come back tonight
