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 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 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. 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. 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. Will you need me now, you'll find a way somehow You want it too, I want it too. 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 Last song 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.
