Last Thing On My Mind
Ronan Keating Feat. Leann Rimes Lyrics

Four o'clock in the morning
It’s the early hours of the morning and the singer can't sleep because he is preoccupied with thoughts of his lost love.

My mind's filled with a thousand thoughts of you
The singer’s thoughts are consumed by the memories of his past relationship.

And how you left without a warning
The singer's ex-partner left without giving any explanation.

But looking back I'm sure you tried to talk it through
The singer understands that his ex-partner may have tried but their communication wasn't enough for them to work through the issues.

Now I see it clearly
After reflecting on their relationship, the singer has come to a clear understanding of what went wrong.

We're together but living separate lives
In the present, they are still together, but emotionally and physically disconnected.

So want to tell you I'm sorry
The singer has regret for the way things ended between them.

Baby I can't find the words
The singer wants to apologize, but doesn’t know how to express his feelings.

But if I could, then you know I would, yeah
If he could find the right words, he would apologize without hesitation.

No I won't let you go, know what we can be
The singer still sees potential in their relationship and is willing to fight for it.

I won't watch my life, crashing down on me
The singer does not want to lose everything they have built together.

Guess I had it all, right there before my eyes
He realizes that he had everything he wanted in his relationship and he didn't see it until now.

Girl, I'm sorry now, you were the last thing on my mind
He apologizes that he didn’t realize how much his relationship meant to him until it was too late.

You carried me like a river
His ex-partner was always there to support him and carried him through the tough times.

How far we've come still surprises me
The singer is amazed at how much they have grown together in the relationship.

And now I look in the mirror
The singer reflects upon himself in the present, and how he has changed without his ex-partner.

Staring back is the man I used to be
The man staring back at him is not the same person he used to be.

How I long for you
The singer still loves and yearns for his ex-partner.

Girl I'm sorry I was wrong
The singer admits his faults and apologizes for wronging his ex-partner.

Could have been there
He understands that he could have been a better partner and been there for his ex-partner.

Should have been so strong
He realizes he could’ve been stronger and more supportive during their relationship.

So I'm sorry, wooh
The singer’s apology to his ex-partner.
