Last Thing On My Mind
Ronan Keating & Lucie Silvas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My minds filled with a thousand thoughts of you
And how you left without warning
But looking back I'm sure you tried to talk it through
Now I see it so clearly
We're together but living separate lives
So I wanna tell you I'm sorry
But if I could, then you know I would
Yeah
No I won't let go, know what we can be
I won't watch my life crashing down on me
Guess I had it all right there before my eyes, yeah
Girl, I'm sorry now we're the last thing on my mind
You carried me like a river
How far we've come still surprises me
And now I look in the mirror (look in the mirror)
Staring back is a man I used to be, with you
How I long for you, yeah
No I won't let go, know what we can be
I won't watch my life crashing down on me
Guess I had it all right there before my eyes, yeah
Girl, I'm sorry now we're the last thing on my mind
Girl, I'm sorry I was wrong
Could have been there
Should have been so strong
So I'm sorry
No I won't let go, know what we can be
I won't watch my life crashing down on me
Guess I had it all right there before my eyes, yeah
Girl, I'm sorry now we're the last thing on my mind
I won't watch my life crashing down on me
Guess I had it all right there before my eyes, yeah
Girl, I'm sorry now, we're the last thing on my mind
On my mind
On my mind

Four O'Clock in the morning
It's very late but I'm still awake, thinking of you
My minds filled with a thousand thoughts of you
I can't stop thinking about you and our relationship
And how you left without warning
You ended things suddenly and unexpectedly
But looking back I'm sure you tried to talk it through
I realize now that you were trying to communicate with me, but I wasn't listening
Now I see it so clearly
I understand now what went wrong in our relationship
We're together but living separate lives
We're still in a relationship, but we're not really connected
So I wanna tell you I'm sorry
I want to apologize to you
Baby I can't find the words
I'm struggling to express myself
But if I could, then you know I would
If I could express myself better, I would apologize to you
No I won't let go, know what we can be
I'm not ready to give up on our relationship, I still believe in us
Guess I had it all right there before my eyes, yeah
I had everything I wanted in our relationship and didn't appreciate it
Girl, I'm sorry I was wrong
I'm sorry for my mistakes and for hurting you
Could have been there
I should have been there for you when you needed me
Should have been so strong
I should have been a stronger and more supportive partner
So I'm sorry
Once again, I apologize for my actions
You carried me like a river
You supported me through everything, like a strong and steady river
How far we've come still surprises me
I can't believe how much we went through together
And now I look in the mirror (look in the mirror)
I'm reflecting on myself and my past actions
Staring back is a man I used to be, with you
I see the person I used to be when we were together
How I long for you, yeah
I miss you so much and wish we were still together
Girl, I'm sorry now we're the last thing on my mind
I'm sorry for the way things ended and for not appreciating our relationship while we had it
I won't watch my life crashing down on me
I won't let our breakup ruin my life
On my mind
You're always on my mind
