Too Little, Too Late (Original) lyrics

[Verse 1]
The whole town is talking about how you fell in love
I read in the papers that he's someone girls dream about
A kind of ruler
And I'm just a buffoon
I'll never be him

[Pre-Chorus]
Last night you called me
It almost killed me

[Chorus]
Hearing you screaming my name
Your smile keeps killing me the same way
I almost turned around
You chased me till you had me on the floor
You asked me how I've been
But where do I start?
To tell you that I should have chased you
Through every single statе
I put my sword down and left it to fate
Becausе it's a little too late

[Verse 2]
I didn't need a reminder of the things I've done wrong
Of broken promises, there's fragility hidden in song
I guess we're soul mates
In different universes
What if you quit?
Throw me a lifeline
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're happy
But it just kills me

[Chorus]
Hearing you screaming my name
A goddamn x-ray
Of what would have happened if I had stayed
I swear to God I almost drowned
You asked me how I've been
But where do I start?
To tell you I should have chased you
It should be me you're engaged to

[Bridge]
I lost my fight with fate
A tug of war between leaving and staying
I give up, I give up the crown
I lay down my sword anyway
I'll see you at the gates of heaven
Cause it's a little too late

[Outro]
I'll toast outside on your wedding day
I'll whisper vows I'll never tell you
Cause it's a little too late
