Lyrics
The Last in Line
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.
It's hard to look your best
When you're tying loose ends 'round your neck
You should know you've put yourself last one too many times
It's not enough to just try
Little pieces of you die
As you sit alone writing everyone elses lines
You know I'm right
But it hurts to admit it
It hurts to accept that it's time
Long overdue
And you can't blame yourself
It's your turn to be selfish, selfish as hell
Don't blame it on yourself
Just blame it on, everybody, everybody else
It's wrong to skip your turn
To watch everyone else live and learn
You should know you've held yourself back one too many times
And it's not enough to aim high
You've got to play to win the prize
Don't waste your time writing anyone elses lines
You know I'm right
But it hurts to admit it
It hurts to accept that it's time
Long overdue
And you can't blame yourself
It's your turn to be selfish, selfish as hell
Don't blame it on yourself
Just blame it on, everybody, everybody else
And you can't blame yourself
It's your turn to be selfish, selfish as hell
Don't blame it on yourself
Just blame it on, everybody, everybody else
