Our Last Time

[rowens]

I don't know why I'm still here
I should be heading home
I don't have anything to fear
I'm just so alone.

Smoke in the neon lights
Reflect my pain tonight
Can we just pretend
It'll never happen again.

I'll kiss you before I go
But you won't know
You're already sleeping
I whisper in your ear "You're the only one I'm seeing"

Warm breath, red wine
We both know it's past time
Should I stay, should I leave?
Will there be explaining to do if you wake up to me?

Am I that forgettable?
Am I so predictable?
What do you do to me?
Can you see right through me?

Should I go?
I just don't know.
One hand is reaching for the door,
Why do I have these feelings though?

I sit down and put my head against the wall
I really don't want to fall.
I'm too drunk for this, too high for this,
And my lips are still trembling from our last kiss.

I decide that I'll stay
I can't just go away
But only for tonight,
I swear this is our last time.

The rhymes are forced. Forced rhymes. You'll have a statement, then you make another statement more bland than the first because it's usually just a rhyme follow-up.

If you read the first stanza closely, you'll see that the last two lines seem to serve no purpose other than rhyme.
