Chorus
I'm leaving you for the last time tonight
There's nothing we can ever do to make things seem right
This fightin’ ain’t a cool way to turn out the light
I'm leaving you for the last time tonight
Verse 1
Why do we keep tossing each other around
How can we talk about it if we just get unwound
Baby we must be over, yeah we must be through
Guess love is for lovers, that ain't me and you
Chorus
I'm leaving you for the last time tonight
There's nothing we can ever do to make things seem right
This fightin’ ain’t a cool way to turn out the light
I'm leaving you for the last time tonight
Verse 2
We must have woke up on the wrong side of life
These words pierce our hearts like a tip of a knife
Baby, we have to silence, the damage is done
The cold war is over and nobody won
Chorus
I'm leaving you for the last time tonight
There's nothing we can ever say to make things seem right
This fightin’ ain’t a cool way to turn out the lights
I'm leaving you for the last time tonight
Yes, I'm leaving you for the last time tonight
I’ll be seeing you for the last time tonight
