Why's it so hard to look me in the eye?
Playing with that cross that's on your chain
I know you only ever bite your lip
When it's something you're afraid to say

Is this the last time that I lay my eyes upon you?
Is this the last time that I ever watch you leave?
This is the last thing I would ever have done to ya
This is the last thing that I thought you'd do to me

We said that it would last, but how come it's the last time?
I'm tryna hold your hand but feeling like my hand's tied
You said we'd be forever, now you never ever be mine (oh-oh-oh)
You said that it would last, but how come it's the last time?

You practiced leaving many times before
But I guess you get it right today
Leaving that ring I gave you in the drawer
But you taking every single part of me

Is this the last time that I lay my eyes upon you?
Is this the last time that I ever watch you leave?
This is the last thing I would ever have done to ya
This is the last thing that I thought you'd do to me

We said that it would last, but how come it's the last time? (Oh-oh-oh)
I'm tryna hold your hand but feeling like my hand's tied (oh-oh-oh)
You said we'd be forever, now you never ever be mine (oh-oh-oh)
You said that it would last, but how come it's the last time? Oh (oh-oh-oh)

I think of the first kiss 
That lead to the first night
Whoa, whoa
I think of the first tiff
That lead to the first fight
Whoa, whoa
Ooh

You said that it would last, but how come it's the last time?
I'm tryna hold your hand but feeling like my hand's tied, mm (oh-oh-oh)
We always said we'd be forever, now you never ever be mine, ooh (oh-oh-oh)
We said that it would last, but how come it's the last time? Oh, ooh (oh-oh-oh)

I think of the first kiss
That lead to the first night
Whoa (first night), whoa (whoa)
I think of the first tiff (the first tiff)
That lead to the first fight
Whoa, whoa, oh

You said that it would last, but how come it's the last time?
