My Last Night

Last night I threw away two razors

This morning I bought ten more

For every step I take forward

I move backwards at least one more.

 

Last night I only counted six cuts

This morning I counted sixteen

My friend thought I tried to **** myself

But I told her that’s not what this means

 

Last night I felt like I had no one

This morning you came to my door

But for every step I take forward

I move backwards at least one more.

 

So last night when you ignored my phone calls

This morning you tried to explain why

You told me you needed a break from me

Of course all I could do was cry

 

Last night I wasn’t going to do it

This morning you left through my door

For every one step I take forward

I move backwards at least one more.

 

Last night I was gaining some hope back

This morning you came to say bye

You couldn’t give me a reason

You couldn’t even explain why

 

Last night I was going to **** myself

This morning you gave me a reason why

So when you left me this morning

You didn’t realize I said my last goodbye.
