This Is the Last Time
I have this odd feeling that has been buried in my bosom
I feel as if someone is in danger and as numb as a drum
I know for a fact that you won't ever let me down
Because you are as energetic as a large town
I might as well be a shadow I underneath your darling feet
I might as well be a single sheet of paper with words left incomplete
Without further ado, I'm going to be falling out of love with you
sick with the love flu, but I'm going to leave it behind before it leaves me blue
I have been roaming around the neighborhood
For hours at a time since you've been out and about
I can't simply be with you if I'm feeling misunderstood
My lonely mind is overflowing with anxiety and doubt
You're making me feel numb inside and out
Sometimes, I don't know what to do when I don't know what you're talking about
You're as precious as the dawn, but as gloomy and cold as the dusk and its saturated moon
You and your touch made me fall into place until you departed from my arms way too soon
I can't keep numbing the pain
You're driving my brain insane
You and I were such happy individuals
It's cruel that it didn't work out because of our fights and our duals
There was too much disconnection between us
We weren't exactly on the same rowdy bus
This is the last time I'm going to feel for you
This is the last time I'm going to fall for you too
I've become someone I can't look at in the mirror before me
I'm really ashamed for what I've turned out to be
Maybe, I should learn to forgive and forget
One day, I'm going to drain away this regret
I think I'm going to cry
I'm scared and feeling shy
Let me be free with the flow
Let the blessed breeze blow
This is the last time I'm going to feel your unbearable sensation
This is the last time and I'm going to blow up on you in aggravation
You got to back off and settle down before I make you care
This is the last time you're going to step all over me - now, that's not fair!
Go ahead and laugh at my long-forgotten dreams
I'm feeling like I'm tearing apart by the worthless seams
Time is dragging its ticking feet as you and I try to figure each other out
Does it matter that I still have the urges to weep a stream of tears for you? I just sit on the ground and pout
I fell in love so foolishly
I'm feeling stuck in place
Like a weeping willow tree
But, now, I'm free in space
Because I'm out of your embrace
This is the last time I'm going to be left behind without a trace
I will win this awful race
With last-minute grace
will win this awful race
With last-minute grace
With sweat on my brow
I'm embracing the now
