Last Song
Fabian Buch Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She used to be my words
but now I can't write anything
wish you could see who you are
you make my songs the enemy
I remember when
she was muse, my everythin'
Now nothing good happens when she's around
I'm tearin all our memories

crumple the pages
toss'em to the ground
I'm never taste another love song on you
this is the last song that I'll ever sing that reminds me of you and me
I'll never waste another
never write another
I'll never sing another love song to you
not even one
I bet you miss my melody
never knew
that my best songs would come after you
I still remember when
she was my muse, my everythin'
now nothing good happens
when she is around
I'm tearn all our memories
crumple the pages
toss 'em to the ground
I'll never waste another love song on you
and I'm tired of wasting all my love songs on you
this is the last song that I'll ever sing reminds me of you and me
I'll never waste another
I'll never write another
I'll never sing another love song to you
to you, to you, to you, to you
no I won't do it
never do it
no I won't do it again
I'll never waste another

never write another
I'll never sing another love song to you
