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, well 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 do you end up letting 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, but it wasn't me   Will you give it back, no 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 do you end up letting 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   The last song      As I go, remember all the simple things you know, (did 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
