Heavy Metal. Song: Farewell to the Last Night.

The clock strikes twelve
I know what comes next
You're leaving me behind
There's nothing left

All these years we built together
Crumbling down like autumn weather
I can see it in your eyes
Tonight you're saying your goodbyes

One more hour
One more breath
One more chance to fight this death
Of everything we used to be
Before you walk away from me

I'm standing in the hallway
Watching you pack your things
The suitcase by the doorway
Tells me what tomorrow brings
You won't look at me directly
Your hands are shaking too
I want to ask you to stay
But I already know it's through

Remember when we first met
You said you'd never leave
Now I'm learning to forget
All the promises you weave
The photographs are staring
From frames upon the wall
They don't know what's happening

Your coffee cup still sitting
Where you left it yesterday
The steam has long stopped rising
Like the words I'll never say
I should have seen this coming
The distance in your voice
But I kept on believing
We both still had a choice

The bed feels twice as empty
Though you're still lying there
I reach across the space between
But you're already somewhere else
I know when morning comes
You'll be walking out that door
And I'll be left here wondering
What we were fighting for

You're folding up our memories
Into neat little squares
Taking half of everything
But leaving all your prayers
I never thought I'd see the day
When love could turn so cold
But here we are at the end
Of the story we once told

The silence cuts between us
Sharper than any blade
I'm drowning in the quiet
Of the mess we've made
You won't tell me where you're going
Won't say when you'll be back
Maybe it's better not knowing
What our future lacks

I memorize your breathing
The way you close your eyes
Tomorrow I'll be grieving
All our beautiful lies
The ring upon your finger
Catches the lamplight
Soon it will be just a memory
Of our last night

If I could turn back time
I'd hold you closer still
Make you change your mind
Bend you to my will
But time keeps moving forward
And you keep pulling away
I'm powerless to stop this
From ending today

So here we are together
For these final hours
Pretending that forever
Is still within our powers
When the sun comes up
You'll disappear from sight
But right now you're still mine
On this last night

The last night
The last night
This is our last night
The last night
