Lyrics
Last Words
Verse 1
I thought I told you a thousand times
We knew it had to be this way
Those nights I'd hold you
they stain my mind
It's something that I can't explain
It's on my shoulder
It's by my side
It's in my shadow everywhere
I'm getting older as days pass by
They turn to years when you're not there
I've flirted with the grave
I've danced with the saints
Stood before the masses as they scream my name
Will I find the truth?
Will it lead to you?
I know I will find my way
Chorus
Can you hear me?
Can I haunt you when you sleep?
Can you hear me?
You're the reason that I breathe.
Verse 2
So I'm wrapped up in your eyes
The way you were wrapped up in my arms
My life's taken a new disguise
The summer nights won't keep me warm
I've flirted with the grave
I've danced with the saints
Stood before the masses as they screamed my name.
Will I find the truth?
Will it lead to you?
I know I will find my way
Chorus
Refrain/Bridge
I've walked through all the flames
And I've taken all the blame
but nothing is left that can cure my fears
When it's said and done
and I'm here all alone
Who will be left to dry my tears?
Chorus
