The Last Song Lyrics

Find myself wholeheartedly agreeing with you Delia. The song is obviously an ode to somebody that was special to the singer.

You’re right about the “carrying a torch” part. It’s a classic example of unrequited & unreturned love. The lead singer loved someone a whole lot who sadly didn’t care or returned his affections in the least.

The whole song basically describes how she left him hanging in all that time & just plain forgot he even existed. That’s my take on it anyway.
