[Verse 1]
I can’t remember the last time
I saw you tongue tied
Choking on the words you speak
You thought that I could be kept down
Now you're nothing but a vacant seat
I thought that we had a good thing
Now I feel so incomplete
You say it was all just a mistake
But I don't think I believe
[Chorus]
It's too late, too late
I gave you the best that I had but you held back
Now you hate, what you can't have
I can't erase the past but I'll pretend
Not to notice when I see you making
Eyes at me from across the room
You know I’m not the one that you'll be going home with
And you can’t take it
[Verse 2]
There's so much I could say to you but I think I'll hold my tongue
Cause what's the point of hanging on when I'd rather be
Done with all the games that you insist on playing
Take your good intentions
Leave the way you came
[Chorus]
It's too late, too late
I gave you the best that I had but you held back
Now you hate, what you can't have
I can't erase the past but I'll pretend
Not to notice when I see you making
Eyes at me from across the room
You know I’m not the one that you'll be going home with
And you can’t take it
[Post-Chorus]
It's too late, too late
I gave you the best that I had but you held back
Now you hate, you hate
I can't erase the past so let's pretend
I gave you the best of my heart but you held back
(Now you hate, you hate)
[Pre-Breakdown]
It's too late, too late
It's too late for you so forget my name
[Breakdown]
I'm done with all the games
That you insist on playing
Take your good intentions
Leave the way you came
[Chorus]
It's too late, too late
I gave you the best that I had but you held back
Now you hate, you hate
I can't erase the past but I'll pretend
Not to notice when I see you making
Eyes at me from across the room
You know I’m not the one that you'll be going home with
And you can’t take it
[Outro / Chorus]
It's too late, too late
I gave you the best that I had but you held back
Now you hate, you hate
I can't erase the past so let's pretend
(I gave you the best of my heart but you held back)
It's too late, too late
