Laura Gibson - The Last One lyrics

Arms once bent towards me, now caught in hesitation Legs once dancing, now wandering in place Words once promising, to do, to have, to hold What's worth saving, just to watch each other drown Am I wrong? Oh here we are, here we are, here we are, dear Are we near to the end, saving our breath? Our histories bound, cold to our chest Did I fail you? Did I fail love? Here I am stealing the heat from your back Still tracing the wall where your shadow was cast With every voice whispering to us, "It's not lost! It's not lost! It's not lost!" I tried to love you in disguise I built an altar to your silence I meant to undraw every line Wore your loneliness so fondly Could you keep the restless still? The future stuck inside your throat What's worth letting go? I can't tell selfishness from love anymore Oh here we are, here we are, here we are, dear Are we near to the end, straining to hold This ghost of a thing, alien being that was once love? Is it still love? And here I am stealing the cloth from your back Still pulling out every thread for a song And maybe I'll stay, or maybe I'll hear The tiniest voice whispering to me "Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!"
