The Last Word

Mary Chapin Carpenter

You can have it; I don't want it
And when you've got, it I'll be gone
It won't matter what you're saying
When the damage has all been done

Can't seem to keep the faith
As if that's all I need to do
I'd rather walk away
Than take what belongs to you

You can have it; I don't want it
And when you've got, it I'll be gone
It won't matter what you're 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 won't hurt as much to say

You can have it; I don't want it
And when you've got, it I'll be gone
It won't matter what you're saying
When the damage has all been done

Sometimes we're 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 don't want it
And when you've got, it I'll be gone
It won't matter what you're saying
When the damage has all been done

The damage has all been done
