The Last Conversation

# THE LAST CONVERSATION **(Verse 1)** I didn't know that was the last time we would talk, Didn't know every second had a fucking clock, Didn't know I'd replay every word that you said, Trying to find some kind of warning hidden somewhere in it. I would've stayed longer if I knew what I know, Would've told you I loved you before letting you go, Would've laughed at your jokes even if they weren't funny, Would've traded every dollar just to give you more time with me. Now the last conversation lives inside of my head, Every sentence gets repeated, every word gets dissected, I remember what you said, but I can't remember enough, 'Cause when someone disappears, suddenly nothing feels like it's enough. I wish I'd asked more questions, wish I'd listened more, Wish I knew that moment was a closing door, 'Cause you never know a goodbye is a goodbye Until you're standing in the aftermath asking yourself why. **(Hook)** That was our last conversation, I didn't know it was the last, Now I'm stuck inside the present While I'm living in the past. If I knew you'd never call again, I'd never let that moment end, I'd tell you that I love you, brother, I'd tell you again and again. **(Verse 2)** I remember your voice like it happened yesterday, Funny how the smallest details are the ones that stay, The tone, the laugh, the words, the way you talked, Now I'm trying to rebuild a moment from a memory that's locked. I wonder if you knew how much you meant to me, Wonder if you knew what you'd eventually come to mean, 'Cause losing you showed me how fragile life gets, How tomorrow isn't promised, how today is all we get. And that's a lesson I wish I never had to learn, 'Cause I'd rather be ignorant than feel this fucking hurt, I'd rather have you here arguing over some dumb shit, Than have a perfect memory of a conversation that ended like this. I still talk to you sometimes when nobody's around, Tell you about my life just to hear myself make a sound, And maybe that sounds crazy, but I don't give a damn, You were my brother before death, and you still are who I am. **(Hook)** That was our last conversation, I didn't know it was the last, Now I'm stuck inside the present While I'm living in the past. If I knew you'd never call again, I'd never let that moment end, I'd tell you that I love you, brother, I'd tell you again and again. **(Bridge)** If I had one more minute, One more chance, One more sentence, One more glance, I wouldn't waste it, I wouldn't hesitate, I'd say everything my heart was too afraid to say. No anger, no pride, No "I'll tell you another time," Just "I love you, brother," And "I'm glad you were mine." **(Final Hook)** That was our last conversation, But it won't be the end, 'Cause every word you ever gave me Still echoes in my head. And if I could hear your voice again, I'd never let the moment pass, I'd tell you how much I love you Before I had to say goodbye. That was our last conversation, And I'll carry every word, 'Cause sometimes the things we never knew Become the things that hurt the worst.
