"The Last Song" lyrics - THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS

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

[Pre-Chorus:]
You wanted the best, it wasn't me, will you give it back?
Now 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 you end up let me know

[Chorus:]
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

[Pre-Chorus:]
You wanted the best, it wasn't me, will you give it back?
Now 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 you end up let me know

[Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
And will you need me now, you'll find a way somehow
You want it too, I want it too

[Chorus:]
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
Last song
(As I go)
As I go, remember all the simple things you know (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
