[Intro — Piano, Clean Electric Guitar] [Verse 1 — Rex] You stopped leaving your coat by the door Stopped asking when I'd be home You'd lie beside me every night But somehow I slept alone Friends went quiet when you walked in Like there was something I should know I saw every sign you gave me I just didn't know what they showed [Pre-Chorus] I thought we were bending I didn't know we'd broke While everybody saw the ending I was holding onto hope [Chorus] I was the last to know The last one holding on Still fighting for forever When forever had already gone I was the last to know You'd already let me go Everybody saw it coming I was the last to know [Verse 2 — Rex] You stopped talking about December Stopped making plans for spring There were boxes in the hallway I never questioned anything You said you needed some distance I gave you all the room Thinking you'd come back towards me While you were leaving me for good [Pre-Chorus] I thought we were wounded Something time could make alright But you were saying goodbye Long before that final night [Chorus] I was the last to know The last one holding on Still fighting for forever When forever had already gone I was the last to know You'd already let me go Everybody saw it coming I was the last to know [Instrumental — Emotional Guitar Solo] [Bridge — Rex, Piano First, Building] Was I blind? Or did I just believe Every little lie I needed to believe? You were halfway out the door I was asking you to stay Funny how the heart keeps hoping When the truth is plain as day [Final Chorus — Full Band, Huge] I was the last to know The last one holding on Still fighting for forever When forever had already gone I was the last to know But now I finally know Everybody saw it coming I was the last to know [Final Chorus Extension — Eden Harmonies] Yeah, I was the last to know But I won't be anymore You can take what's left between us When you walk out through that door I was the last to know Now I'm the first to let you go [Outro — Piano + Guitar] The last to know... The first to let you go.
