Lyrics
Famous Last Words
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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?
And famous last words: I'm not ready yet
I won't be gone a minute and I won't forget
