The Last

Take your love and your big expectations
Take your time but I don't need your explanations
Take your words, take the couch, and your records, too
Take your guilt and the guitar I gave you
I'm cleaning house, cleaning up, need my peace of mind
I'm cashing out, just fed up, can't sleep at night
The game is called, let's finally say what we always knew
No looking back cuz I'm over you

You're not the last man left or the last of my disasters
You're not my last mistake or the first to make me cry (yeah)
So the last word's yours, moving on to ever-after
But you're the last time I'll ever compromise

It's three a.m. and once again I'm losing it
I'm at the end and on a memo, feeling stupid
You live and learn, gotta find out who you are
But it still burns to be tossed back in the dark
So thanks for making me a little bit stronger
Why does always being so dumb make us smarter
The clock is ticking, things are changing, it's a new moon
And I'll move on cuz I always do

You're not the last man left or the last of my disasters
You're not my last mistake or the first to make me cry (yeah)
So the last word's yours, moving on to ever-after
But you're the last time I'll ever compromise

We may have said forever and a day
But there are some promises you break
Nothing lasts - what can I say?
It was meant to be this way
So goodbye, I hope your skies are blue
I'll go and take a piece of you
Nothing lasts - what can I say?
It was meant to be this way...

Nothing lasts, nothing lasts, nothing lasts...

You're not the last man left or the last of my disasters
You're not my last mistake or the first to make me cry (yeah)
So the last word's yours, moving on to ever-after
But you're the last time I'll ever compromise (2x)
