Down To Your Last One
Hazell Dean · Other Songs - Hazell Dean
Always one more call
Always one more try
To explain it all
If that's what you think
You'd better be keeping score
'Cause sooner or later
You'll be down to your last one more.
There's always one more promise
Always one more word
Always one more excuse
She hasn't heard
So there's really no danger
You've broken her heart before
Well sooner or later
You'll be down to your last one more.
You think your supply
Of second chances
Will never run dry will never run out
You think there'll be time
To men you fences
Isn't that what forgiveness is all about.
There's always one more letter
Always one more kiss
Well brother you better conscious of this
Nothing lasts forever that what a zero's for
And sooner or later you'll be
Down to your last one more...
