Lyrics
Got a matchbook in my pocket
Got my hand on it right now
If I lit a match in this office
It'd burn this motherfucker down
I thought we were on the same side
Crazy but solidified
Tell me what you think has changed
We were seeing eye-to-eye and then
Something started happening
Before I had a chance to say I know
I had a plan but I never had time
I had a reason but I never had rhyme
I should have known it was over but I’m
The last one to know, the last one to know now
The last one, last one
Last one to know now
Last one, last one
Last one to know now
Last one, last one
Last one to know now
Last one, last one
Last one to know
Had a call about you this morning
They said that you were movin' on, ha
It took everything in that moment
Just to hold my fucking tongue, just to (hold my fucking tongue)
Because we were on the same side
Crazy but solidified
Somehow you got carried away
We were seeing eye-to-eye and then
Something started happening
I don't need you to explain ’cause I know
I had a plan but I never had time
I had a reason but I never had rhyme
I should have known it was over but I'm
The last one to know, the last one to know now
The last one, last one
Last one to know now
Last one, last one
Last one to know now
Last one, last one
Last one to know now
Last one, last one
Last one to know now
I didn't know I was bringing you down
I didn't lose what you thought you had found
And now you're tellin' me you're leaving me out
The last one to know, the last one to know now
Under a black sky, tell me that it's not my fault
Is it so?
Under a black sky, tell me that it’s not my fault
Is it so?
Under a black sky, tell me that it’s not my fault
Is it so?
Under a black sky, I know
I had a plan but I never had time
I had a reason but I never had rhyme
I should have known it was over but I'm
The last one to know, the last one to know now
I didn’t know I was bringing you down
I didn't lose what you thought you had found
And now you're tellin' me you’re leaving out
The last one to know, the last one to know now
The last one, last one
Last one to know now
Last one, last one
Last one to know now
Last one, last one
Last one to know now
Last one to know
The last one to know now
