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
Your parents say everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you they don't know you at all [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/skillet/the_last_night.html ]
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
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
Away From me
[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)
[Outro:]
I won't let you say goodbye
And I'll be your reason why
The last night away from me
Away from me
The lead singer of skillet dedicated this song to a girl that had contacted him over there website saying that she had a terrible family, no more friends left, she cut, and she was thinking about suicide. Later, when she told him she was saying her goodbyes cuz she was going to do it, skillet ended up confronting her at her house and talked with her and made her happy and let her know their is a god out there that loves her and is the only friend she needs and to pray to him whenever she was down... I thought it was sweet, even though i am not a christian, but this song is life-changing for most people, i believe. Rock on, skillet!!! ^^

A girl wants to die because her parents blame everything on her and they don't care so she just wants to die
John cooper has explained this song at every live show at which it was played. He writes this song about a girl who thinks she has no reason to live, hates her life, and decides one night to kill herself and end it all. That night, she comes to john and tells him her plans. John then gets the chance to tell her that she is not a mistake, that her life has meaning, and that if she will see that god loves her, even sent his son to die for her, it will be the very last night she will ever spend alone
I used to cut myself as much as it hurts to say/type this its true and its also true that ive hurted basically everyone in my life and cuz of that reason is why i cut myself one day my parents n family found out and no one ever tired to help only my ex (at the time) she told me that no matter what i said to her that she'll always love me and would always take care of me in my time of need she told me that even though we broke up she would always choose me over anyone else so she convinced me to stop then a week later she said remember everything i told you i said yea she said i really do miss you and want you back n i said well i love you and miss you too n your the only person that ever cared about me n told me that you loved me etc. We talked and then we ended up together again and since then ive never did that again
my point is that if we (everyone who has hurt themselves) would stop in the end you wont regret stoping because in the end their will be that one special person that will always tell you that they love n care for you
This is my life. See i cut myself because of my ex and family and thought about suicide but my recent boyfriend said as long as i had him i didnt need to cut myself and one night i called him and sed i cut again he said this is the last night you will spend alone the last night you will feel like this the last night away from me. He wouldnt let me say goodbye he is the reason why im still alive.
Absolutely wonderful!!! Such a touching song. It makes us all want someone special when we get emo, for instance, and hold us tight whe times are hard... Never hurt yourself to make it feel better - you then have physical scars too (as if the emosional ones aren't enough... )
rock on skillet
This song was dedicated to a girl that's parents called her worthless and skillet came to her and invited her to a concert and stopped her from killing herself
This song means so much to me, when me and my girlfriend first started going out, she was cutting herself bcuz of her homelife, and the only good thing she had in life was me, and knowing i was there for her made her stop cutting, im happy to say we're as happy as can be, and she has no more thoughts of self harm, this song is epic!!
