The Last Song
McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun is setting in the sky
The truth turned out to be a lie
It's over, over
Hum yourself a lullaby
This is the end, but baby don't you cry
So take away the melody
Of lovers, friends and enemies
They're all fading
You may not remember me
I haven't got the strength to carry on
If this is the last song
I'll ever sing
Then I'm giving it everything
I'm giving it all
If this is the last song
I'll ever play
Then I guess it's time to take
My curtain call
I'm dying to thank you all
dying to thank you all
dying to thank you all
I thank you all!
yeah!
So here's to all the lonely hearts
Coz mine's been ripped and torn apart
I'm colder now, it's getting dark
But I'll be OK
Just bury me with my guitar
And on the way to hell I'll play!
If this is the last song
I'll ever sing
Then I'm giving it everything
I'm giving it all
If this is the last song
I'll ever play
Then I guess it's time to take
My curtain call
I'm dying to thank you all
dying to thank you all
dying to thank you all
I thank you all, yeah
One more song before
I've got to go
I'm singing
From the very bottom of my soul
And hearing
Every single word and every note
I'm pleading
Let me hear you
Sing it all once more
With feeling
One more song before
I've got to go
I'm singing
From the very bottom of my soul
And hearing
Every single word and every note
I'm pleading
Let me hear you
Sing it all once more
With feeling
If this is the last song
I'll ever sing
Then I'm giving it everything
I'm giving it all
If this is the last song
I'll ever play
I guess it's time to take
My curtain call
oooooooooohh
If this is the last song
I'll ever sing
Then I'm giving it everything
I'm giving it all
If this is the last song
I'll ever play
Then I guess it's time to say
We thank you all

The time has come to say goodbye
It's time to part ways
The sun is setting in the sky
The day is ending, it's getting dark
The truth turned out to be a lie
What was believed to be true was actually false
It's over, over
The end has come
Hum yourself a lullaby
Sing a soothing song to yourself
This is the end, but baby don't you cry
Although it's over, don't feel sad
So take away the melody
Remove the tune from the music
And all that's left of memories
The only things remaining are memories
Of lovers, friends and enemies
Memories of the people who have been in our lives
They're all fading
The memories are disappearing
You may not remember me
It's possible that you may forget about me
I haven't got the strength to carry on
I am too weak to keep going
If this is the last song
If this is the final piece of music
I'll ever sing
I will give it my all
Then I'm giving it everything
I will put everything I have into it
If this is the last song
If this is the final piece of music
I'll ever play
I will make it count
Then I guess it's time to take
Then it's time to say goodbye
My curtain call
My final performance
I'm dying to thank you all
I really want to express my gratitude to everyone
So here's to all the lonely hearts
Cheers to all those who feel alone
Coz mine's been ripped and torn apart
Because my heart has been broken
I'm colder now, it's getting dark
I'm feeling numb and the situation is not good
But I'll be okay
But everything will be fine
Just bury me with my guitar
When I die, let my guitar be buried with me
And on the way to hell I'll play!
I'll keep playing the guitar, even on the way to hell
One more song before
Before I go
I've got to go
I have to leave
I'm singing
I am singing
From the very bottom of my soul
From deep within me
And hearing
And listening to
Every single word and every note
Every word and sound of the music
I'm pleading
I am begging
Let me hear you
Let me hear your voice
Sing it all once more
Sing it again, one last time
With feeling
With emotion
I guess it's time to say
It's time to express
We thank you all
We are grateful to everyone
