Song Lyrics

I saw her in the halls of that old high school
She was as pretty as the sun on the morning dew
I never said a word I knew the boys had talked her silent
She had a look on her face like she hated the world
But it wasn't the look of an angry girl
She looked like a woman that no one could catch crying

I was nothing to her, she was too pretty for me
I was a dirtbag she was a jaded queen
She moved east and I stuck around
She was the last good thing, left in this town

She was the last good thing, left in this town
She was the last good thing, left in this town
She moved east and I stuck around
She was the last good thing, left in this town

I started working my father's shop
I'd just waste his money and watch the clock
I got a house on the highway filled with cracks and silence
I've been waiting for years
I've been looking in mirrors, I've been dreaming of ways to run from here
I keep looking inside myself for something I'm not finding

Well, every now and then she comes back around
And I see her sometimes when I go out
I just smile and nod and I hide in the crowd
She was the last good thing, left in this town

She was the last good thing, left in this town
She was the last good thing, left in this town
She moved east and I stuck around
She was the last good thing, left in this town

I remember being young, no, I didn't have a clue
That the ones I looked up to were just as confused
I remember knowing everything would be alright
I wish I felt younger than I feel tonight
I remember knowing everything would be alright
I wish I felt younger than I feel tonight

She was the last good thing, left in this town
She was the last good thing, left in this town
She moved east and I stuck around
She was the last good thing, left in this town

She was the last good thing, left in this town
She was the last good thing, left in this town
She moved east and I stuck around
She was the last good thing, left in this town
