James Blake - Famous Last Words Lyrics

James Blake Lyrics

"Famous Last Words"

And I can't believe I'm still talking about you
That feeling
I should've lost it
I should've lost it by now

I can't believe I'm still holding out and seeing signs
I've truly lost it
I've truly lost it
This time

You're the last
You're the last of my old things
The cast from my broken limbs

I can't believe I'm still walking around a believer
I should've lost it
I should've lost it
By now

And I can't believe I'm still making excuses for your crimes
I've truly lost it
I've truly lost it
This time

You're the last
You're the last of my old things
The cast from my broken limbs

You're the famous last words
I wish I never uttered
That I wish I never stuttered
That I wish I'd had time to learn

You're the last
You're the last of my old things
The cast from my broken limbs

You're the last
You're the last of my old things
The cast from my broken limbs

"Famous Last Words" is the third single from James Blake's studio album "Friends That Break Your Heart". The song was premiered on Zane Lowe's Apple Music show on September 13, 2021. Blake explaned to Lowe, "With romantic relationships we know what to do and we know what to expect. Love songs and films have told us and other people know what to expect of us when we're heartbroken in that way. Friendship breakups don't carry the same level of acknowledged gravitas. People just go: 'Well, you can get more friends. There are plenty more of those.'"
