The Last Time
Farewell Chronicles: A Heartfelt Reflection on the Last Goodbye
Lyrics
Our best friend greets me at the door
Arriving at the door, greeted by the best friend
His mouth says that he's smiling, but his eyes say something more
Friend appears happy outwardly but reflects deeper emotions in his eyes
And as I step inside a single teardrop falls to the floor
A single teardrop falls as I enter, indicating emotional distress
He tells me 'bout the other night
Learning about a recent night and its events
How your heart was breaking and the cure was getting high
Narration of a heartbreak and the reliance on substances for relief
But you needed something stronger than the weed to get by
Expressing the need for something stronger than weed to cope
You promised this would be the last time, and you were never one to lie
A promise made that this would be the final occurrence, emphasizing trustworthiness
So now we're sitting here without you getting drunk and getting high
The aftermath of the situation, friends together without the person in question, engaging in vices
And we laugh about the good times with tears in our eyes
Recalling fond memories with laughter but tinged with sadness
Praying this won't be the last time we say goodbye
Hoping this won't be the last time bidding farewell
Like a candle in the wind
Comparing the person's existence to a fragile flame
I guess we knew that you would burn out, but nobody knew when
Acknowledging the anticipation of the person's decline but uncertain when
But your flame burned on lighting up our world until the end
Despite the inevitable end, the person's impact continues until the last moment
Well you were older than you seemed
Observing that the person seemed older than actual age
You had a lifetime's worth of hurting by the age of seventeen
Having endured a significant amount of pain by a young age
An orphaned kid just trying to ease the pain by any means
An orphaned individual attempting to alleviate suffering through any means
You promised this would be the last time, and you were never one to lie
Reiteration of a promise to make this the final instance, emphasizing trustworthiness
So now we're sitting here without you getting drunk and getting high
Post-event reflection, friends without the person, engaging in vices
And we laugh about the good times with tears in our eyes
Recalling joyful moments with a mixture of laughter and tears
Praying this won't be the last time we say goodbye
Expressing the desire that this won't be the final goodbye
You promised this would be the last time, but now I wish that was a lie
Reflecting on the broken promise, wishing it were untrue
'Cause now I'm sitting here without you writing songs and getting high
The narrator now alone, engaging in creative pursuits and vices without the person
And I look back on the good times with tears in my eyes
Looking back at good times with a sense of loss and tears
Wishing I could have just one last time to say goodbye
Expressing the longing for one last opportunity to say goodbye
