Lyrics:

Love’s Last Song

We were on fire
Had the ocean on standby
Your hair was ablaze
My eyes were waterfalls
Look at us now

On the darkest nights
You are the brightest light
I curse myself for doing nothing right

I’m here when your world stands still
I’ve got nothing to say
Other than I want you to stay
There’s gotta be some other way

If you just stay with me you’ll be on the right side of history
Cause soon I’ll be history

I’ll better myself
So you take me off the shelf
Fantasise that you’re still around
That you’d love me now
That I’m lost in you
And there’s no way out

I guess I can’t make it last
Let me take a leaf out of your past and walk away
Hell I would take the whole tree
But memories are
Too much for me

You’ve left and gone so far
So I thought
Give me a guitar
Let me write a song
Cause that’s the only thing that’s gonna connect me to where you are

I dreamt you were my everything
My beginning, my end and my in between

Every part of me is dead
Lamenting over what you said
Large parts of me are gone
Thinking ‘bout what went wrong
Tell myself pick yourself up and carry on
Rejection is just a love song gone wrong

Whispers in the dark and I’m left alone
Finding my way
Find my way back home

I remember we used to play guitar on the porch

You don't know a good thing
And now I don't know you no more

I’ll better myself
So you take me off the shelf
Fantasise that you’re still around
That you’d love me now
That I’m lost in you
And there’s no way out

I guess I can’t make it last
Let me take a leaf out of your past and walk away
Hell I would take the whole tree
But memories are
Too much for me

Interesting piece of poetry. Reminded me of the sixties. Pretty weird for a song. Not easy to listen to, but I don't think you were going for easy listening. It evoked anxiety, and I think that was the point you were trying to make.

Youre a poet, man. But I'm not sure about a musician.
I couldn't hear no discernible melody and the guitar playing isnt there.
The lyrics are good, some lines in there would grace a fine song.

Repost your song mate, first of theres a lot of writing there im thinking guitar and vocal is going to be like a roller coaster but its hard to tell on reading, your the songwriter, what changes have you made here.
