[Verse 1 Male] I didn't know it was the last time When you walked out that night I thought we'd have another Sunday Another stupid little fight I thought we'd both cool down Like we always used to do I didn't know that some goodbyes Don't give you time to choose [Verse 2 Female] I didn't leave because I stopped loving you I wish that made more sense I left because I couldn't keep becoming Someone I didn't recognize You were good to me in ways I'll probably never explain And you hurt me in ways I never learned to say [Male] I wish you'd told me [Female] I wish I'd known how [Chorus Both] If I'd known it was the last time I'd have stayed a little longer I would've held you differently I would've listened more I wouldn't have been so certain That we'd get another chance If I'd known it was the last time I'd have held on to your hand [Verse 3 Male] There are things I still want to tell you Then I remember I can't I still turn to say your name sometimes Like you're standing where you always did And I hate that life keeps moving Like nothing happened here Like I didn't spend half my life With you beside me [Verse 4 Female] I still think about the good days More than I thought I would The way you knew when I was quiet And didn't always ask what was wrong I hope you don't remember me Only for the way I left I was trying to save what was left of me I didn't know how to save us too [Chorus Both] If I'd known it was the last time I'd have stayed a little longer I would've held you differently I would've listened more I wouldn't have been so certain That we'd get another chance If I'd known it was the last time I'd have held on to your hand [Bridge Male] Do you ever wonder What would've happened if we'd tried again? [Female] Sometimes. [Male] Me too. [Female] But I don't think wondering Means we should go back. [Male] No. [Female] I think it just means It mattered. [Final Chorus Both] So if this is the last time That we ever speak I don't want another apology I don't want you to feel guilty You were there when I needed you You loved me when you could And even though we couldn't make it I won't call it something bad [Outro Male] I loved you. [Female] I loved you too. [Male] I think that's the part I'll keep. [Female] Me too. [Both, quietly] Goodbye.
