The Last Thing
H Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So well thought, almost real, one day and I'll start believing it myself
Bless myself being so goddamn rational, so much sense when the damage is already done
And even though, I must say that it does make sense to me, it feels like shit
The last thing I ever wanted to hear that it's probably the best for the both of us
These words are me, I know but I swear I didn't have to use ‘em
A price I was more than willing to pay to keep me from drifting from you or me
"The Last Thing" by H is a powerful song that delves into the complex emotions and thoughts that come with a painful break-up. The first verse talks about the singer's ability to say the right thing in difficult situations, a gift that has perhaps been used too late, after damage has already been done. The second verse speaks to the singer's rational nature, a trait that has helped them make sense of the situation but ultimately feels like crap. The chorus is a gut-wrenching admission that the last thing the singer wanted to hear is the truth - that breaking up may be for the best.
The bridge is especially poignant, as the singer discusses how these words are indeed their own, but they hate hearing them come out of their own mouth. The singer would have paid any price to avoid drifting apart from their partner, but in the end, the truth hurts. The song is a raw expression of the complicated emotions that come with a break-up, from regret and sadness to anger and hurt.
