  • 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? Writer/s: Daniel O'Donoghue, James Abrahart, James Barry, Mark Sheehan
