Last Place
~~~~~~~~~~

Not so long ago
I jumped into her life
I shoulda looked before I leaped
I might have seen the knife,

The one that cut more deeply than any steel could,
And that's not the worst, it's just the beginning,
Or should I say that it's
Only the point on the blade?

My heart hates to lose
In love's situtations.

Bottom of the ninth,
I'm down seven to one,

And I've got one pinch hitter left, he's my last shot,
So I put him in, the bases are loaded...
He takes a mighty swing, the umpire screeches "STRIKE THREE!"

Bridge (write this!)

Now I'm so confused
Don't know which way to go.
All my roads are blocked
Where now? I just don't know.

There have been times I'm with her when everything's fine
And I feel all right, at least for a while,
But then something happens and
Back to the bottom I fall...

'Cause I realize
Something I should have seen,
Last place in her life
is where I am, and I scream

That I just can't go on with these feelings inside,
I've got too much love, too much to hide,
And I'm wrapped, caught, tangled up,
But this time I don't want to lose!

Torture of this kind
Should be a felony.
One-way love is pain.
Look what it's done to me!

It's hard with so many people involved in her life
There's no time for me; that hurts the most.
And there's nothing I can do.
I can just sit here and wait.

Last place in her life
Seems it's my destiny....
