The Last Time Lyrics

Our best friend greets me at the door

His mouth says that he's smiling, but his eyes say something more

And as I step inside a single teardrop falls to the floor

He tells me 'bout the other night

How your heart was breaking and the cure was getting high

But you needed something stronger than the weed to get by

You promised this would be the last time, and you were never one to lie

So now we're sitting here without you getting drunk and getting high

And we laugh about the good times with tears in our eyes

Praying this won't be the last time we say goodbye

Like a candle in the wind

I guess we knew that you would burn out, but nobody knew when

But your flame burned on lighting up our world until the end

Well you were older than you seemed

You had a lifetime's worth of hurting by the age of seventeen

An orphaned kid just trying to ease the pain by any means

You promised this would be the last time, and you were never one to lie

So now we're sitting here without you getting drunk and getting high

And we laugh about the good times with tears in our eyes

Praying this won't be the last time we say goodbye

You promised this would be the last time, but now I wish that was a lie

'Cause now I'm sitting here without you writing songs and getting high

And I look back on the good times with tears in my eyes

Wishing I could have just one last time to say goodbye
