[VERSE 1] I found a little room inside my head Where I could turn the noise into words instead Three chords, cheap headphones, middle of the night And somehow all the wrong things sounded right I wrote because it made me feel alive Never cared if anybody heard a line I could disappear inside a melody For a little while, it belonged to me [PRE-CHORUS] Then somewhere between the verses And everybody else's voices I watched the thing I loved Turn into something I avoided [CHORUS] So this is my last song My last four minutes trying My last pretty chorus With an ugly truth behind it I used to run toward music Now I can't stand what it's become Funny how I found my joy here And somehow watched it come undone No encore, no "one more" No promise I'll be back before long I'm putting down the pen now This is my last song [VERSE 2] It used to be a secret I could keep A little piece of happiness that followed me to sleep Then every line became a battlefield Every word got twisted into something I didn't mean Something good always gets complicated Give me something beautiful, I'll watch it get invaded I should've known the pattern, I've seen it all before I just never thought that music would become another chore [PRE-CHORUS] I miss when I was writing Without wondering who would hear it Before every little lyric Came with something I had to fear with it [CHORUS] So this is my last song My last four minutes trying My last pretty chorus With an ugly truth behind it I used to run toward music Now I can't stand what it's become Funny how I found my joy here And somehow watched it come undone No encore, no "one more" No promise I'll be back before long I'm putting down the pen now This is my last song [BRIDGE] And God, I loved this once That's the part that hurts the most I loved chasing down a sentence I loved finding the right note I loved laughing at the bad ones I loved staying up till three I loved making something out of nothing When it was only mine and me Maybe that's what I'm mourning Not the songs, but who I was Before something that brought me happiness Became another thing I lost So don't tell me not to quit Don't tell me I'll regret it You weren't here when every reason that I loved it Slowly left it [FINAL CHORUS] Yeah, this is my last song And I hate that I'm still crying 'Cause beneath all this resentment There's a part of me still fighting But I don't want to fight for it I don't want to force what's gone I want to remember loving this Before I learned to hate it all No encore, no "one more" No dramatic curtain call Just a woman and the silence Where the music used to fall I hope someday I hear these words And remember why I wrote songs But tonight I'm closing the notebook Tonight... This is my last song. [OUTRO — QUIET] I used to write because it made me happy. That's enough of a reason to know when it doesn't anymore. Over 5 thousand plays (hehe)(thats pretty cool) Thanks for listening See yall down the road
