This may be the last thing that I write for long
Can you hear me smiling when I sing this song, for you and only you
I’m writing this, so you know that I’m not mad. I’m going to miss you, hell, I’m going to have the hardest time getting over what we had, but I’m not angry, I couldn’t be happier for you. This, this letter that I’m writing, it’s for you, only you, and it’s cliché, but I’m crying while I write it, while I think of the fun we had, and how we won’t ever have the exact same relationship with each other again. Part of that statement makes me want to die, makes my heart feel like it’s breaking all over again, but then, the other part, the bigger part makes me realize that we’ve both grown, if it’s meant to happen, it will happen. Don’t be surprised though, if I stop talking to you, or being the same as I was, I’ve grown.
As I leave will you be someone to say good-bye
As I leave will you be someone to wipe your eye
My foot is out the door, and you can't stop me now
When I leave, if I leave, will you say goodbye? Will you make sure that you remember me? Will you cry? Will you always know that I loved you, love at its youngest stage, but I did. It’s the only way to describe it. I wouldn’t want you to cry if I left, that’d ruin your eyes, let someone else fall in love with them. When I decide to leave, you won’t stop me, I hope you realize that, I don’t want you to stop me, I don’t want to change my mind, it will have been hard enough to come to one decision. I’d love for you to come to my funeral though, just to let me know that you thought about me at one point in your life, that you’ll remember something I did, or said, or wrote. Just so that I know that a piece of me will rest with you always.
You wanted the best, it wasn't me, will you give it back
Now I'll take the lead, when there's no more room to make it grow
I'll see you again, you'll pretend you're naive, is this what you want
Is this what you need, how you end up let me know.
You wanted the best, you deserve the best, hell, you’ll end up with the best, there’s no doubt in that one. I’d ask you to give back the time you took from me, but that’d be pointless, and stupid on my part. I’ll take the lead, I’ll make somewhat of a friendship grow, I’ll prove to myself that I can still talk to people, You’ll prove it all to them. I’ll see you around again, when no one else is there, and you’ll pretend that we never had anything, that we were never were closer than friends. If that’s what you want, If that’s what you think you need, I’ll let you do it. I’ll let you act how ever the hell you want, how you end up from it, let me know.
As I go, remember all the simple things you know,
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope, that you will miss me when
I'm gone
This is the last song
I want you to remember all the simple things you know, remember what it feels like to play outside, to climb trees, to sit on the swings with someone you care about and not give a damn about anything in the world. Remember what it feels like to realize you like someone, remember what it feels like to do great on a test, or in a basketball game. Remember what it was like when you knew me. I’m just acting as a crutch to you, keeping you from moving on. I still hope though, that you’ll think of me when I’m gone.
The hearts start breaking as the year is gone
The dream's beginning and the time rolls on
It seems so surreal, now I sing it.
Somehow I knew that it would be this way,
Somehow I knew that it would slowly fade.
Now I am gone, just try and stop me now.
Everybody goes through it at some point in time, school gets out, couples end up growing apart. It’s how it goes, we all get new dreams in the long run. This dream’s my beginning and time rolls on, I’m going to work towards it, I’ll get to it eventually, no matter how surreal it gets, I’ll get there, and I’ll tell you about it, in one way or another. You may not hear about it, but I figured it’d turn out this way, that our friendship might slowly fade. When I leave, you can’t say you lost a close friend, you have to say you lost an acquaintance, and you can’t stop me now.
You wanted the best, it wasn't me, will you give it back
Now I'll take the lead, when there's no more room to make it grow
I'll see you again, you'll pretend you're naive, is this what you want
Is this what you need, how you end up let me know.
As I go, remember all the simple things you know,
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope, that you will miss me when
I'm gone
This is the last song
I want to say thanks, to you, for breaking my heart, for letting it heal, for keeping me somewhere in your thoughts at some point of the week. I’m glad you accepted my opinion at one point in time, I’m glad I got to know you, and that you may have gotten to know me. This is the last thing that I’ll write for long…this is the last chance I'm giving, this is the last song…..
