The first track from the unfinished final Pretty Polly album "Farewell To The Promised Ones."

Well here we go again and
Still going nowhere fast.
What is it that you think I lack?
Still running ‘round in circles
Still on the same old path
(I thought) You said you were never looking back?

‘Cause you’re always looking for something more
when all you need is right in front of you
but it’s never enough, it’s never enough
all that I do now just to get to you

Everything you’ve ever wanted is going nowhere ‘cause it’s never quite enough.
Whatever path you choose to take, I hope you know is a mistake
And I know that I’m not wrong. And I hope that I’m not wrong.

I’ve said this all before now
So, this isn’t nothing new
(I) can’t get a reaction out of you.
The only thing that’s worse than
The words that you would say
Are all the words that you DON’T say.

‘Cause you’re always looking for something more
when all you need is right in front of you
but it’s never enough, it’s never enough
all that I say now just to get to you

Everything you’ve ever wanted is going nowhere
‘cause it’s never quite enough.
Whatever path you choose to take, I hope you know is a mistake
And I know that you’re so wrong. And I hope that you’re so wrong.

The second track from the unfinished Pretty Polly album "Farewell To The Promised Ones," Meant To Be!

Meant To Be

Pretty Polly - Meant To Be

The 5th track from Pretty Polly's final unfinished album "Farewell To The Promised Ones," titled "LAST WORDS."

For every word that I tried to say
For every emotion I tried to convey
Did I get far? Or did I just fail?
I’ve grown so tired of walking this road
This path stretched farther than I could have known
Maybe I can burn and just fade away.

Because I tried my best and still I feel I failed this test.
This test of will. This test of faith. Where is my faith?
I gave it my best shot and I feel it just wasn’t enough
So I’ll fade away. No one will know. No one will know.
Just let me get in these last words.

If these are the last words you hear me say
Just think of me kindly and where we’ve been
I can’t believe. I can’t believe.
It’s just not fair when you hear what’s out there
The hearts and souls of those just don’t compare
To all my friends. Follow through to the end.

Because I tried my best and still I feel I failed this test.
This test of will. This test of faith. Where is my faith?
I gave it my best shot and I feel it just wasn’t enough
So I’ll fade away, no one will know. No one will know.
Just let me get in these last words.

Is this the end? Could this be the end?
Just let me get in these last words…
Just these last words…

Last Words

Pretty Polly - Last Words

A rough mix of the single "The Waiting" by Pretty Polly. Although not a new song at the time of recording the lost final album "Farewell To The Promised Ones," it had become a live favorite, so the band wanted a proper studio version of it for release. Here it is, unmixed!

I hate the waiting... I hate not knowing what's coming next.
It's so frustrating... I'm sick of not knowing what to expect.
No more if's & and's or buts. The time has come, & I've had enough.
Something's got to give or break. There's only so much i can take.
With you it all just falls apart. I should've known right from the start.
I suffer here now unto you. Awaiting the time to start a new.
Speak these words that no one hears. I never meant to be sincere.
Leaves me here as "just a friend", forever trying to make amends.
I hate the waiting... I hate not knowing what's coming next.
It's so frustrating... I'm sick of not knowing what to expect.
With you it all just falls apart. I should've known right from the start.
I suffer here now unto you. Awaiting the time to start a new.
Save me... from the person i thought was meant to... save me.
I hate the waiting... I hate not knowing what's coming next.
It's so frustrating... I'm sick of not knowing what to expect.
No more wearing hearts on sleeves. And no more words meant to deceive.
No more burdens left to weigh. And no more time left here to wait.
No more if's & and's or buts. The time has come, & I've had enough.
Something's got to give or break. There's only so much i can take.
With you it all just falls apart. I should've known right from the start.
I suffer here now unto you. Awaiting the time to start a new.
Save me... from the person i thought was meant to... save me.
I'm thru...
I'm thru waiting.
I'm thru...
I'm thru waiting
