Story Behind The Song
A lover in a messy relationship swears this is the last time - but is it? Love is blind, as the lyric goes, and we don't always act on common sense!
Song Description
I wanted to write a dialogue between someone who is being messed around by their lover, and the lover who isn't actually there at the time.
It's the classic case of 'this is what I wanted to say' - yet never seem to say it to their face.

Lyrics
Verse 1:
22 times today I hear the phone
And every time I let it ring
What do you want to say, I don't know
Have you forgotten everything
We lost our bearings, a long long time ago
But the compass always points the same way home
Chorus:
This is the last time, the last time,
I travel that road, I carry this load
The last time, the last time,
I fall for that game it's always the same
Love is blind, I know they say
But believe me, believe me, believe me,
This is the last time
Verse 2:
Here I stay once again next to you
And once again I have to try
If I say that the glass is half full
It's half-empty you reply
Do you really mean it, or are you trying to bring me down
Am I just another actor in your play?
Chorus:
This is the last time, the last time,
I travel that road, I carry this load
The last time, the last time,
I fall for that game it's always the same
Love is blind, I know they say
But believe me, believe me, believe me...
Bridge:
Believe me when I say it's true,
There's only so much I can do,
I've given everything to you,
For the last time
Love is blind, I know they say
But believe me, believe me, believe me...
This is the last time.
