[Intro | clean guitar | close dry vocal] You can keep talking I’m not listening anymore [Verse 1 | restrained drums | conversational vocal] You always need the ending The final little line Something sharp enough to follow me And stay inside my mind I used to turn around With one more thing to say We could keep an argument alive For half another day I know how to be louder I know where words can hurt But I don’t need to prove I won By making you feel worse [Pre-Chorus | bass rises | harmony enters] You’re waiting for a fight I’m reaching for the door For once, I don’t need To give you anything more [Chorus | full guitars | melodic lead] You can have the last word I know who I am You can tell your version I don’t have to understand You can have the last word Say it after I leave Your voice can fill the silence It won’t change what I believe I said everything that mattered Now I’m walking out unheard You can have the last word [Post-Chorus | soft layered vocal] Keep it (Keep it) I don’t need it (No, I don’t) [Verse 2 | driving bass | stronger vocal] I packed the little things I kept forgetting at your place One charger and a silver ring That never fit me anyway You stood beside the kitchen Practicing your defense But every explanation Made the truth make even less sense I almost interrupted That habit dies so hard Then I heard how tired you sounded Trying to protect your part So I left you with the sentence You had polished all night long Closed the door before you finished And kept moving when you called [Pre-Chorus | drums widen | octave harmony] You’re waiting for a fight I’m already down the hall For once, walking away Says more than words at all [Chorus | full guitars | stacked harmonies] You can have the last word I know who I am You can tell your version I don’t have to understand You can have the last word Say it after I leave Your voice can fill the silence It won’t change what I believe I said everything that mattered Now I’m walking out unheard You can have the last word [Instrumental | 8 bars | melodic guitar lead] [Bridge | piano and exposed lead vocal] Silence used to feel Like somebody shut me down Like I disappeared If I wasn’t the loudest sound Now I know the difference Between surrender and release You didn’t take my voice from me I chose my peace [Build | drums enter gradually | guitars swell] And if I ever speak again It won’t be to make you hear It’ll be because the words are mine And I want them in the air [Final Chorus | full studio arrangement | soaring lead] You can have the last word I still know who I am You can tell your version It won’t change where I stand You can have the last word Let it follow where you go I don’t have to answer Just because you need me to I said everything that mattered Now my voice belongs to me You can have the last word I’m finally leaving free [Climactic Refrain | sustained upper belt] MY VOICE BELONGS TO MEEEEEE [Upper harmony] To me (To me) [Outro | clean guitar returns] You can keep talking [Door closes] I’m done
