Last But Not Least
Zac Brown Band Lyrics

There ain't enough of me to go around
I am very busy and there are too many things that require my attention, so I cannot fulfill everyone's expectations.

Got all kinds of reasons
I have many obligations, responsibilities, and people to please, which keeps me highly occupied all the time.

To be all over town
I have to travel across the city, meet with different people, and accomplish various tasks, which takes a lot of time and effort.

Spread thin and broken down
My energy and resources are highly stretched, and I feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and incapable of giving more to anyone or anything.

Everybody wants a piece
Many people are dependent on me for different reasons, and they all need a portion of my time, attention, money, or support.

Oh darlin' I'm afraid
I am scared that I am not doing enough for the people I care most about, and that they might feel neglected or unimportant.

You've been last but not least
Out of all the people who need my help or affection, you are the last one I attend to, but not the least important to me.

Everyone I love the most
The people who are closest to my heart and who mean the world to me, are the ones who deserve my undivided attention and care.

Has to take what's left of me
Due to my constraints and limitations, my loved ones have to be content with whatever time, energy, or resources I can spare for them.

I put it all together
I try to piece together all the aspects of my life - work, family, friends, hobbies, faith, etc.- and make them coexist in harmony.

But I left out one big piece
Despite juggling many things, I have missed out on nurturing a critical relationship or passion in my life that brings me true joy and fulfillment.

I put you last
Among all my obligations and commitments, I have neglected to make you a priority and give you the time and attention you deserve.

But you're not least
Even though I have not focused on you as much as I should have, you are still an immensely important person in my life, and I value you deeply.

Nothing ever takes the place of you
No matter what else I achieve or get distracted by, no one can ever replace the unique love, companionship, and influence that you bring into my life.

Sometimes things that may not matter
Sometimes, I get caught up in trivial or irrelevant aspects of life, like material possessions, status, or entertainment, and overlook the things that truly matter.

Jump in front of things that do
These distractions and temptations can hijack my attention and resources, and unfairly jump ahead of the people and priorities that deserve my focus and effort.

And you're fine to stand in line
Even though I have not given you enough attention, you have been patient, understanding, and supportive, and have waited for me to come around.

While history repeats
My tendency to get sidetracked by the wrong things and neglect what is essential has been a repeating pattern in my life, which has caused me pain and regret.

But oh darlin' not this time
This time, I am determined to break the cycle of neglect and be fully present for you, giving you the time, attention, and affection that you deserve.

They deserve the best from me
The people I love most are worthy of my best efforts, my highest qualities, and my unconditional love and care.

When I found that missing piece
After much soul-searching and reflection, I have identified the essential relationship or passion that was missing in my life, and have taken steps to cultivate it.

You were the last
You were the final piece of the puzzle that I needed to find and integrate into my life to make it more whole and satisfying.

But you're not least
Even though you were the last to receive my attention and affection, you are certainly not the least important to me, and I will cherish and honor you from now on.
