The song is about a girl that wants to commit suicide. She is finally going to do it, saying that it is her last night, but God intervenes and tells he it really is her last night, the last one she will spend alone. God is there for her and doesn’t want her to give up.
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
You come to me with scars on your wrist
You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this
I just came to say goodbye
I didn't want you to see me cry, I'm fine
But I know it's a lie
[Chorus]
This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
[Verse 2]
Your parents say everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you they don't know you at all
I'm so sick of when they say
It's just a phase, you'll be o.k. you're fine
But I know it's a lie
[Chorus]
This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
The last night away from me
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
The night is so long when everything's wrong
If you give me your hand I will help you hold on
Tonight
Tonight
[Chorus]
This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
[Post-Chorus]
I won't let you say goodbye
I'll be your reason why
[Outro]
The last night away from me
Away from me
[Instrumental Break]
