"The Last Time" is a song recorded by American recording artist Taylor Swift and featuring Gary Lightbody. The song features singer Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol.
"The Last Time" is a power ballad that draws primarily from alternative rock, and also interpolates elements of folk music.
The song tells the story of a long-standing but crumbling relationship. Lyrically, the song describes the relationship as one with vicious cycles of both heartbreak and forgiveness, for instance: "You find yourself at my door, just like all those times before, you wear your best apology, but I was there to watch you leave"
Found myself at your door
Just like all those times before
I'm not sure how I got there
All roads, they lead me here
I imagine you at home, in your room, all alone
And you open your eyes into mine
And everything feels better
Right before your eyes I'm breaking
And fast, no reasons why
Just you and me
This is the last time I'm asking you this
Put my name at the top of your list
This is the last time I'm asking you why
You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye
You find yourself at my door
Just like all those times before
You wear your best apology
But I was there to watch you leave
And all the time to let you in
Just for you to go again
Disappear when you come back
Everything is better
And right before your eyes I'm breaking
And fast, nowhere to hide
Just you and me
This is the last time I'm asking you this
Put my name at the top of your list
This is the last time I'm asking you why
You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye
This is the last time you tell me I've got it wrong
This is the last time I say it's been you all along
This is the last time I let you in my door
This is the last time I won't hurt you anymore
This is the last time I'm asking you this
Put my name at the top of your list
This is the last time I'm asking you why
You break my heart in the blink of an eye
This is the last time I'm asking you
Last time I'm asking you
Last time I'm asking you this
This is the last time I'm asking you
Last time I'm asking you
Last time I'm asking you this
