Last Last Dance

Liner Notes
Well shoot, here I am posting a breakup song on Valentine's Day. Purely coincidental, as I have been working on this for the past few days and finally finished and made time to record this morning. The lyric in this song is the closest I get to doing math. It started with the first line and then I just kind played with the numbers theme.
Lyrics
Verse 1 Am G F Emaj x2 Hurt people hurt people That’s what they say Now your trigger happy triggers Have wrecked another day And these eggshells that I walk on Have worn down my soles As I forgive, try to forget Your lack of self control
Prechorus: F G Now I’m done losing track Of your endless take-backs….after
Chorus Am C G E A hundred “please forgive me”s /For a thousand bad decisions Am C E E And a million second thoughts / On yet another “one more chance” Am C A m G F I’ve lost count of all the “no mores” / I swore this heart could take F Emaj Am So tonight is our last... last dance
Verse 2 Am G F Emaj x2 Hurt people hurt people I’ve always known Still I jumped upon a train wreck And hoped it’d take us home Thought that I maybe could heal you Help you shine bright again But all this wasted effort Has my thick skin worn thin
Pre: F G And I can’t take anymore I’m done keeping score.. of
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
F EMAJ Am G
It’s a less than a zero sum proposition
F EMAJ Am Am
Trying to help someone who just can’t help themselves
F EMAJ Am G
Back to square one Another Catch-22
F G
Now I’m counting down the seconds until we’re through... with
Chorus

Whoa…. this is a a really compelling great last dance song! Wonderfully pointed lyrics in the chorus and really strong bridge. Love that walking bass line and cool riffy guitar. Yet another awesome song!

Wow, perfectly matched music-lyrics. Lyrics so true of so many relationships. So relatable and hopefully giving those many an ah ha and nudge.

Excellent opening line! And the imagery just keeps coming! You managed to throw a lot of math into a lyric (Does "Catch 22" count?) without losing the lyrical thread. That takes talent. Nice to see you back here.

Good song and good performance! I don't know why but I get Fairport convention vibes from this. Lovely voice

The line, “hurt people hurt people,” is poignant. Love the tempo and your voice is gorgeous. And I know you have Valentine’s songs planned for today :)

This is perfection! The lyrics are so well written. Musically and vocally strong.

Another amazing song! Thank you for sharing. I like the key the song is in.
Catchy... I really like this. It is really hard to get out of an unhealthy relationship and stay out... and, as I'm told, it's hard to avoid getting into new ones! Love the play on words in the title line. (Great title!) I can hear this one all rocked up.
