Grace Petrie - The Last Love Song lyrics
[Grace Petrie - The Last Love Song lyrics]
It's been a few years since I loved you
A few years since I could
Since the pain of unrequited lust felt
Dizzyingly good
A few years since I thought about
The time I thought about you night and day
You were the sunrise in my mornings
The starlight in my night
All the words in songs I wrote you
I could never get it right
But since I got your friend request
I just can't look at you the same way
You were the one that got away
And now you're just the one
I've got on Facebook
And though it breaks my teenage heart to say
That every song I wrote was wrong
'Cause you were never as pretty
As my mind's photograph
And you were never that funny
I just wanted to laugh
And all the times that you led me
Up the garden path to nowhere
Darling, there was nothing there
You look so much better, darling
Through my rose-tinted glasses
In the memories of you and
Me in afterschool French classes
When for some reason I started to suspect
That you had hidden depth
Now I've a window to your soul
Through your daily boring status
About what you had for dinner
Or the X-Factor latest
Yeah, the inconvenient truth, I must conclude
Is you're kind of a douche
You were the one that got away
Now you're just the one I've got on Facebook
And every tortured serenade
I can no longer sing
'cause here's the thing:
You were never as pretty
As my mind's photograph
And you were never that funny
I just wanted to laugh
And all the times that you led me
Up the garden path to nowhere
Darling, there was nothing there
And what a sorry situation
What a waste of good imagination
But, I was drunk on my infatuation
Plus, on my brother's stolen lager
This is the last love song I'll sing you
But, I would still give anything to
Never have known your weird right-wing views
And what the fuck is Candy Crush Saga anyway
When we left school
And we inevitably lost touch
I thought my heart would burst because
I missed you so much
I kept mistaking other girls for you in town
And it would make my heart race
And at the time, in my love-lorn hysteria
I thought that obsession must
Have made me delirious
But now I know it's just that
You have a generic face
And through the years my heartache lasted
Now my high school bubble's burst
Mark Zuckerburg, you bastard
The pandora's box that you unlocked
'Cause she was never as pretty
As my mind's photograph
And she was never even funny
I was determined to laugh
And all the times that she led me
Up the garden path to nowhere
I wish I'd known I didn't need to care
'Cause, darling, there was nothing there
A few years since I could
Since the pain of unrequited lust felt
Dizzyingly good
A few years since I thought about
The time I thought about you night and day
You were the sunrise in my mornings
The starlight in my night
All the words in songs I wrote you
I could never get it right
But since I got your friend request
I just can't look at you the same way
You were the one that got away
And now you're just the one

And though it breaks my teenage heart to say
That every song I wrote was wrong
'Cause you were never as pretty

And you were never that funny
I just wanted to laugh
And all the times that you led me
Up the garden path to nowhere
Darling, there was nothing there
You look so much better, darling
