[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
(Famous last words)
Famous last words, "I'm not ready yet"
"I won't be gone a minute"
[Verse 2]
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
You said you were only waiting
[Chorus]
(Famous last words)
And famous last words, "I'm not ready yet"
"I won't be gone a minute" but I won't forget
Famous last words
If tomorrow never comes, will I ever know that I was in love?
That I was in love
In love
[Bridge]
You say you heard every word, I watched you turn away
You said you were only waiting
[Chorus]
(Famous last words)
And famous last words, "I'm not ready yet"
"I won't be gone a minute" and I won't forget
Famous last words
(Famous last words, tomorrow never comes)
If tomorrow never comes, will I ever know that I was in love?
That I was in love
(You said you were only waiting)
That I was in love
(You know I won't forget)
And famous last words, "I'm not ready yet"
"I won't be gone a minute"
