Montana Café

Mind Your Own Business

The Weight Of The World

well it’s 2 am all over again
and the people you pay to say they’re your friends
have all gone home and you’re almost alone
just you, the bartender and a ringin’ phone

and it’s the last call
keep tellin’ yourself
you’re gonna leave it alone
leave your phone on the shelf
waitin’ for the voice on the end of the line
to ask why you keep calling
just one more time

well it's 'bout as clear as the foam on your beer
been wrong for too long whatcha still doin’ here?
more lost than found, nothin' makin' a sound
'cept you, the bartender and one more round

and it’s the last call
keep tellin’ yourself
you’re gonna leave it alone
leave your phone on the shelf
waitin’ for the voice on the end of the line
to ask why you keep calling
just one more time

it’s the last call
what’s left to say?
maybe tell her why you threw it all away
on the last call
you know how it ends
just one more chance to say goodbye again

you know why once and for all
it’s closing time for the last call

last call

[Verse 1]
I spent my life just chasin’ my way,
Buildin’ a kingdom that couldn’t stay.
Never cared for the hands reachin’ out,
I turned my back while they lived without.

But the mirror don’t lie when you stand alone,
It’ll show the cracks in the life you’ve sewn.
When the glass breaks, it cuts so deep,
There’s no place to run, no promises to keep.

[Pre-Chorus]
The lights grow dim, the end feels near,
What’ll you say when the truth’s right here?

[Chorus]
Selfish hearts don’t climb that hill,
Living for yourself leaves you standing still.
When the silence falls and you’re face to face,
You’ll find no mercy, no saving grace.

[Verse 2]
You walked that road, paved with gold,
Stepping on hearts just to have control.
But every dollar and every dime,
Won’t buy you back a single moment of time.

When the curtain drops, the stage is bare,
Will you look for peace, but find despair?
In that moment when you’re called to pay,
It’s too late to learn how to kneel and pray.

[Pre-Chorus]
Face the fire, see what’s left,
What’s the price of a destitute soul?

[Chorus]
Selfish hearts don’t climb that hill,
Living for yourself leaves you standing still.
When the silence falls and you’re face to face,
You’ll find no mercy, no saving grace.

[Bridge]
"You turned your back, you looked away,
For the price of pleasure, your soul will pay."
Your soul will...
Pay!

[Breakdown]
Your maker turns, the gates stay closed,
A life of self, your end composed.
You ignored the cries, now the silence keeps,
Into the void, where selfishness sleeps.

[Chorus - Final]
Selfish hearts don’t climb that hill,
Living for yourself leaves you standing still.
When the silence falls and you’re face to face,
You’ll find no mercy, no saving grace.
