I tried to be a wise man but I didn't have the mind
I tried to be a leader but it's hard when you're behind
I tried to make you happy, as happy as you make me feel
But somewhere down the line I think my hands fell off the wheel
I tried to be protective but I can't protective myself
I tried to be a friend but it just jeopardised my health
I tried to make amends but now there's nothing I can do
I tried to be a hero but I don't know where to start with saving you
This is the last time I'll write a love song for you
You hurt me the last time so this time I'll tell you the truth
If you're waiting 'til I call you up late at night
You'll be waiting 'til you're blue
'Cause this is the last time I'll write a love song for you
I tried to be a builder, building bridges we could cross
I tried to make you smile like you used to, have you forgot
I tried to be a writer but all the pages turned put blank
So I settled for a singer, at least I know I've you to thank
This is the last time I'll write a love song for you
You hurt me the last time so this time I'll tell you the truth
If you're waiting 'til I call you up late at night
You'll be waiting 'til you're blue
'Cause this is the last time I'll write a love song for you
I've kissed more bottles than girls, been too drunk to make words
Might not wake up 'til ten still my head only hurts
If I think of your name or I check if you called
But as much as I'm lonely, I swear I don't miss you at all
This is the last time I'll write a love song for you
You hurt me the last time so this time I'll tell you the truth
If you're waiting 'til I call you up late at night
You'll be waiting 'til you're blue
'Cause this is the last time I'll write a love song for you
I know I said it the last time,
But this is the last time that I'll write a love song for you
