Last Time
Maybe April Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Restored the ground wherever you stood
And every time I turned around
You always let me down
What’s the point in giving out my heart?
If it’s just gonna sit behind bars
Cause seems like I gotta drag love outta you
Cause I’m not waiting around for you to grow up
For you to show up and fight for me
I’m not sitting at home waiting on you to wise up
For you to give it up
I don’t care if you don’t believe
You’ll find out soon enough it’s real
Cause maybe last time wasn’t the last time
But baby this time, it’s the last time
How many chances did you need?
Before you thought I would really leave
And you’re probably still thinking I’ll come back again
And let you win
Cause I’m not waiting around for you to grow up
For you to show up and fight for me
I’m not sitting at home waiting on you to wise up
For you to give it up
I don’t care if you don’t believe
You’ll find out soon enough it’s real
Cause maybe last time wasn’t the last time
But baby this time, it’s the last time
I wanted you and me
More than you could believe
But baby now I see
But I’m not waiting around for you to grow up
For you to show up and fight for me
I’m not sitting at home waiting on you to wise up
For you to give it up
I’m not waiting around for you to grow up
For you to show up and fight for me
I’m not sitting at home waiting on you to wise up
For you to give it up
I don’t care if you don’t believe
You’ll find out soon enough it’s real
Cause maybe last time wasn’t the last time
But baby this time, it’s the last time
In “Last Time,” Maybe April sings about a love that has gone sour due to constant disappointment and broken promises. The song’s protagonist laments that she had given her lover numerous chances to redeem himself, but every time she did, he let her down. She feels like her heart is imprisoned, and she can’t take it anymore. She believes that it’s time for her to move on and find someone who appreciates and values her.
The song is introspective as the singer weighs her options and decides that she's no longer willing to wait for her partner to come around or mature. She wants to be loved properly, and for that to happen, she needs to leave her toxic relationship behind. The lyrics are a reminder that love should not be complicated, it should not be something you have to force or need to awaken in another person. It should come naturally.
The song reflects the emotions of many people who may be going through something similar. Sometimes, we need to be reminded that our happiness and wellbeing should come first, and if we are not getting what we need, it's okay to move on.

I gave you every chance I could
I attempted to offer you as many opportunities as I could.
Restored the ground wherever you stood
I worked towards fixing any situation you were in.
And every time I turned around / You always let me down
Each and every time I incited change, you refused to follow through and let me down.
What’s the point in giving out my heart? / If it’s just gonna sit behind bars
Why should I express a deep emotional connection if it's only going to be ignored and never reciprocated?
Cause seems like I gotta drag love outta you / You don’t get to choose anymore
I feel like I'm the only one putting effort in and you have no say in the matter anymore.
Cause I’m not waiting around for you to grow up / For you to show up and fight for me / I’m not sitting at home waiting on you to wise up / For you to give it up / I don’t care if you don’t believe / You’ll find out soon enough it’s real / Cause maybe last time wasn’t the last time / But baby this time, it’s the last time
I'm not going to wait for you to mature or realize that you need to change for me. I'm not holding out hope for you to understand and figure it out. I'm not concerned if you don't believe me because you will discover that it's the truth soon enough. Even though perhaps previous attempts failed, this is the final time because I can't continue to do this.
How many chances did you need? / Before you thought I would really leave / And you’re probably still thinking I’ll come back again / And let you win
How many more opportunities are necessary for you to understand that I'm serious? You waited until I was at breaking point. I'm sure you believe that I'll eventually come back and let you win.
I wanted you and me / More than you could believe / But baby now I see
I had such high hopes for us and I had faith that we could make things work, but now I'm realizing that it's just not possible.

AudioTree, the people you give a chance to be heard need to be heard lol. The talent is amazing and im surprised theres so little views. You guys are well deserving of a higher budget to get noticed as a company. Find room for commercials, get already popular artist to do a promo. Really the talent here is amazing
