[Intro]
Too late, too late, too late for another tragedy
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for an ounce of sympathy
[Verse 1]
Have we come this far just to give up hope
Another day, another death, another helpless soul
It's easy to place blame on the outcast
A broken heart, a broken home, but no one sees the toll
Can't take much more
[Chorus]
Too late, too late, too late for another tragedy
Are we desensitized, passively paralyzed?
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for an ounce of sympathy
I grow more numb each day, oh God, is it too late?
[Verse 2]
The ground quakes and storms rage
What will it take to move you
What will it take
Empty thoughts and empty prayers
You type the words but you don't really care
You never cared
[Chorus]
Too late, too late, too late for another tragedy
Are we desensitized, passively paralyzed?
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for an ounce of sympathy
I grow more numb each day, oh God, is it too late?
[Bridge]
Is it too late to feel again?
Too late for hope to win?
When everything is said and done
Is it too late for us?
[Chorus]
Too late, too late, too late for another tragedy
Are we desensitized, passively paralyzed?
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for an ounce of sympathy
I grow more numb each day, oh God, is it too late?
[Outro]
Too late
