The Last Song Ever
Secondhand Serenade Lyrics

I wish my life was this song 'cause songs they never die
I long for a life like a song, where emotions once expressed in my art will continue to have meaning and not be forgotten with time.

I could write for years and years, never have to cry
In this song-like life, I wouldn't have to experience pain through genuine tears because I can express myself creatively through lyrics.

I'd show you how I feel without saying a word
Through my songwriting, I can communicate my deepest emotions without the need for spoken language.

I could wrap up both our hearts, I know it sounds absurd
In this song-like life, I could bring two hearts together through my music, something that in reality may seem unlikely or even impossible.

And I saw the tears on your face, I shot you down
I could see the sadness in your eyes, but I still managed to hurt you and tear you apart emotionally.

And I slammed the door but couldn't make a sound
Even though I wanted to express my emotions and say something, I ended up walking away and not communicating anything at all.

So please stay sweet my dear, don't hate me now
Despite my actions, I'm hoping for forgiveness, and I'm asking my loved one to understand and not hold any ill will.

And I can't tell how this last song ends
This final attempt to express my feelings through this song may not be enough to make everything okay or to elicit the desired response, and I'm uncertain of how it will all end.

The way that I feel tonight, so down, so down
I feel incredibly low and depressed right now.

I pray I can swim just so I won't drown
I'm hoping that with enough effort and strength, I can overcome my hardships and not let my negative emotions consume me.

In the waves that crash over me
The problems and issues that I am facing feel overwhelming and are hitting me like waves in the ocean.

I'm gasping for air, take my hand so I can breathe
I am struggling and need someone to support me in order to get through this tough time.

As I write this last song down
With this final songwriting attempt, I am trying to express my emotions one last time before closing this chapter of my life.

The broken glass, your moistened skin
The image of broken glass and your teary skin serves as a reminder of the pain and hurt I have caused you.

Was everything, was everything
These distressing images are all-encompassing and powerful reminders of just how hurtful my actions were.

And your broken voice was quivering
Your voice was filled with emotion when you expressed your pain, and it shook me to my core.

You're everything, you're everything
Despite my mistakes, you are still everything to me, and I can't bear to lose you.

Scream at me, make it the best I ever had
I want to feel pain and emotion to its fullest extent, to endure the hurt and feel the love one last time before it's gone forever.

Laugh out loud, I know it sounds absurd
This request sounds ridiculous and senseless, but I want to experience it nonetheless.

Heartbeat's slowing, pains are growing
As my heart slows down and my pain intensifies, I'm realizing the magnitude of my mistakes and how much I stand to lose.

Does she love you? That's worth knowing
I am asking the question of whether or not you truly love me because I need to know whether or not I stand a chance at fixing this.

You're everything
Even though I have made so many mistakes, you are still everything to me, and I'm hoping for a way to make things right.
