Never Too Late
Hanging on
By a threat
I'm wrong
You're right
Another day
Another lonely night
You win
We fight
I can't make this alright
If you don't give me a chance
So we stand in the rain
Same dance
No one wins like this
I'm trying
I'm really trying here
And as I fear
You keep getting farther away
Reaching out
Grasping air
You fight unfair
Blows
To the temple
You never knew
What I did
To get back to you
And now you're saying
It's too late
You can't take it
Don't want to wait
My apologies
Barely make a dent
Your goodbye
Feels permanent
And I start to panic
It rises
In my throat
Like vomit
Enough is enough
I'm over it
But I can't let you go
Did you know
I've been changing
To be better for you
Did you care
That I've been fighting my way
Back to you
I'd let you go
If you wanted that
But you're here
Face to face
We rewind
For another moment
Take it back
I stand my ground
Wait it out
Count down
To ten
And wait
But you hold on and say
It's never too late
