"Famous Last Words"


you say you heard every word
but I watched you turn away
your eyes grew colder than winter
love is so intrusive
I thought I heard you say
and laugh so unconvincingly

famous last words
I'm not ready yet
I won't be gone a minute

narrow is the road and
too high a price to pay
when loneliness is such a sanctuary
empty are the musings
and wasted are the days
when you say you were only waiting

and famous last words
I'm not ready yet
I won't be gone a minute
and I won't forget
famous last words
if tomorrow never comes
will I ever know that I was in love

I was in love
in love

you say you heard every word
I watched you turn away
you were only waiting
