lyrics

Lyrics:

Well I really hate to flatter you
But I used to wait by lamplight
For your vaudeville smile
You go to extremes
You’re a liability

This is the last time I’m leaving
The last time I’m believing that you’ve changed
I’m so tired of grieving
The death
Of something we never had

You in a red storm
With summer skin
You were tap dancing
Shape shifting your purple symphony
Our hearts were like nectarines

This is the last time I’m leaving
The last time I’m believing that you’ve changed
I’m so tired of grieving
The death
Of something we never had

Clouds of complication
Hover over you
There’s conflict in your coffee
As you step on my words

And our love
Sits like toxic shellfish in the sun
But I know that I’m capable of happiness
Yes, I am… yes, I am
Yes, I am… yes, I am
Yes, I am… yes, I am
Yes, I am… yes, I am

This is the last time I’m leaving
The last time I’m believing that you’ve changed
I’m so tired of grieving
The death
Of something we never had

Oh, this is the last time
This is the last time
