The Last Word* (Album Version)

Mary Chapin Carpenter - The Last Word
You can have it, I dont want it,

And when youve got it Ill be gone

It wont matter what youre saying

when the damage has all been done

Cant seem to keep the faith

As if thats all I need to do

Id rather walk away
Than take what belongs to you
You can have it, I dont want it,

And when youve got it Ill be gone

It wont matter what youre saying

when the damage has all been done

Some words will cut you down

Like you were only in the way

Why should I stand this ground?

It wont hurt as much to say
You can have it, I dont want it,

And when youve got it Ill be gone

It wont matter what youre saying

when the damage has all been done

Sometimes were blinded by

The very thing we need to see

I finally realized
You need it more than you need me
You can have it, I dont want it,

and when youve got it Ill be gone

It wont matter what youre saying

when the damage has all been done

The damage has all been done
