Last Train Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I need to tell you a secret Cause I can't keep it for me And I need to tell you a secret
Cause I'm gonna leave you baby
I need to tell you a secret Cause I can't just wait and see Oh I need to tell you a secret It's over forever and never ever
Hey you just got to keep it on Hey babe can you just keep holdin on Hey you just got to keep it on Hey babe can you just keep holdin on
I need to tell you a secret Cause I can't keep it for me Oh I need to tell you a secret
Yeah I'm gonna leave you baby
Chorus Final
I'm leaving you now
To protect the ones you love Sometimes it's better to leave.

I need to tell you a secret
Cause I can't keep it for me
And I need to tell you a secret
Cause I'm gonna leave you baby
I need to tell you a secret
Cause I can't just wait and see
Oh I need to tell you a secret
It's over forever and never ever
Hey you just got to keep it on
Hey babe can you just keep holdin on
Hey you just got to keep it on
Hey babe can you just keep holdin on
I need to tell you a secret
Cause I can't keep it for me
Oh I need to tell you a secret
Yeah I'm gonna leave you baby
I'm leaving you now
To protect the ones you love
Sometimes it's better to leave.
I need to tell you a secret
Cause I can't keep it for me
