Famous Last Words Lyrics lyrics

Famous Last Words by Jars Of Clay

You say you heard every word, but I watched you turn away
Your eyes grew colder than winter
‘Love is so intrusive,’ I thought I heard you say
And laugh so unconvincingly

Famous last words, ‘I’m not ready yet’
‘I won’t be gone a minute’

Narrow is the road and too high a price to pay
When loneliness is such a sanctuary
Empty are the musings and wasted are the days
When you say you were only waiting

And famous last words, ‘I’m not ready yet’
‘I won’t be gone a minute’ and I won’t forget
Famous last words
If tomorrow never comes, will I ever know that I was in love?

I was in love
In love

You say you heard every word, I watched you turn away
You were only waiting
