Mary Chapin Carpenter - The Last Word
You can have it, I don’t want it,
And when you’ve got it I’ll be gone
It won’t matter what you’re saying when the damage has all been done
Can’t seem to keep the faith
As if that’s all I need to do
I’d rather walk away
Than take what belongs to you
You can have it, I don’t want it,
And when you’ve got it I’ll be gone
It won’t matter what you’re saying when the damage has all been done
Some words will cut you down
Like you were only in the way
Why should I stand this ground?
It won’t hurt as much to say
You can have it, I don’t want it,
And when you’ve got it I’ll be gone
It won’t matter what you’re saying when the damage has all been done
Sometimes we’re blinded by
The very thing we need to see
I finally realized
You need it more than you need me
You can have it, I don’t want it, and when you’ve got it I’ll be gone
It won’t matter what you’re saying when the damage has all been done
The damage has all been done
