Last Call For Love

Your hands on my hips

But your heart’s out the door

I taste the lies every time you ask for more

You call it love

But I call it a game

One-sided dance always ending the same

Whiskey on your lips

But your touch feels so cold

I’m done being the story that never gets told

You take what you want

Leave me aching at dawn

But this time

Baby

I’m the one who’s gone

Last call for love

And I’m closing the tab

No more late-night sins in the back of your cab

You had your chance

But the clock’s run out

Last call for love

And I’m walking out

The jukebox still plays

But it’s not our tune

The stars overhead whisper

“It’s too soon”

Your shadow lingers where my heart used to stay

But shadows don’t hold me

They just fade away

Last call for love

And I’m closing the tab

No more late-night sins in the back of your cab

You had your chance

But the clock’s run out

Last call for love

And I’m walking out

Barstools and promises

All worn down thin

I won’t spin in circles where I’ve already been

Your name on my lips tastes bitter tonight

I’m chasing the dawn

Leaving behind the fight
