The Last Song

Song is from Sleater-Kinney (self-titled album) CD/LP.
CD released on Chainsaw; 10" LP released on Villa Villa Kula. Both CD & LP available at Kill Rock Stars.
Official lyrics come with the album; I have modified them so that the lyrics posted here
reflect what I actually hear the band singing in the song.
Because that took me lots of time and effort, please do let me know
if you would like to use the lyrics I have posted here on your site.
Or even just reference my site on yours. Thanks!

this song, your song
is the last song I'll ever do
for you, about me
'Cause your games are through

I won't think I won't breathe
I won't close my eyes to dream
I'd starve you right out of me
if I knew what else to eat

you said this would be
the last time you'd hurt me
you said this would be
the last time I'd ever cry

last time I didn't know
how was I supposed to know?
this time I found it
I know how to scream

I don't owe you anything
I'm not a part of you
you can't take away everything
I'm not a part of you

this song, your song
is the only song I'll ever do
about you, for me
so I can stay alive

I can't think, I can't breathe
I can't even close my eyes to dream
I need you outta me
before I turn into you

I can't stand to look at you
until you remember everything
I can't be
what you are
what you think
what you do

I know what
it means when
I look at you, I look at you
and this time
I'm looking
and telling on you

I don't owe you anything
I'm not a part of you
well I don't need anything
I am coming after you

can you feel me coming after you?
can you feel I'm right behind you?
can you hear me telling on you?
can you feel me tearing out of you

this song, your song
is the last song I'll ever do
for you, about me
'Cause our games are through

this time I don't feel bad
for everything I've ever said
and this time I want them
to know what you did
