Grace Petrie - The Last Love Song
10
Copied!
{verse 1}
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
{pre-chorus}
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
{chorus}
'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
{verse 2}
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
{pre-chorus}
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:
{chorus}
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
{bridge}
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
{verse 3}
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
{pre-chorus}
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
{chorus}
'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
