This is the last time
That I'm ever gonna come here tonight
This is the last time I will fall
Into a place that fails us all inside

And I can see the pain in you
And I can see the love in you
But fighting all the demons will take time
It will take time

The angels they burn inside for us
Are we ever, are we ever gonna learn to fly
The devils they burn inside of us
Are we ever gonna come back down
Come around
I'm always gonna worry about
The things that could make us cold

This is the last time
That I'm ever gonna give in tonight
Are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear to see

Well, I can see the pain in you
With I can see the love in you
And fighting all the demons will take time
It will take time

The angels they burn inside for us
And are we ever, are we ever gonna learn to fly
The devils they burn inside of us
And are we ever gonna come back down
Come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things
That could break us

And if I was to give in give it up and then
I take a breath make it deep
'Cause it might be the last one you get
Be the last one
That could make us cold
That could make us cold
I'm always gonna worry about
The things that could make us cold

    I have to disagree that this is a break-up and/or relationship song. I belive that this is more of dealing with the evils with life. "this is the last time that I'm ever gonna come here tonight this is the last time - I will fall into a place that fails us all - inside". This part here is not so much for going to your girlfriends or boyfriends place after a break up. The author of this song uses the words "all" and "inside". How could going to your ex's house fail us all inside?
