Last Goodbye
Last Goodbye is a song about loss, and the void created when we are permanently separated from someone we love. The reason for loss being through bereavement or breakup is left open to interpretation, making the song relatable to anyone who has experienced the smothering pain of grief. The gentle piano melody and vocal harmony stacks give the song a purity and fragility, while elemental drums, bass and subtle sound effects provide the signature Jack Watkins polish and pop sensibilities.

Lyrics
I'm learning how to live again
In a world that doesn't have you
And when I least expect it
I see a reminder of you
A memory comes back into view
So darling won't you stay
Stay with me
'Cause I'm learning how to breathe
From the deep
So darling won't you hold me one more time
I don't wanna say our last goodbye
Mmm
Mmm
I'm saying “yeah I'm fine” again
I'm hiding behind a smile again
And in the silent moments
I hear a whisper of you
And I crash back into the blue
So darling won't you stay
Stay with me
'Cause I'm learning how to breathe
From the deep
So darling won't you hold me one more time
I don't wanna say our last goodbye
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
So darling won't you stay
Stay with me
'Cause I'm learning how to breathe
From the deep
So darling won't you hold me one more time
I don't wanna say our last goodbye
So darling won't you stay
Stay with me
'Cause I'm learning how to breathe
From the deep
So darling won't you hold me one more time
I don't wanna say our last goodbye
Mmm
Mmm
