05. Famous Last Words

If I Left the Zoo
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 thught 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
