It's Too Late.

It’s too late
Though I hate to admit it
We worked so hard to save what felt so right
A twist of fate
Turned us upside-down
And a spiral of broken dreams swept up our nights
And I’m dying
It’s too late

I used to think that our love was an airplane
With wings that would lift us and weather the storm
Gliding to safety through lightning and rain
Inside there was comfort
Our love kept us warm

But we’ve grown apart
Leaving me broken-hearted
Now I’m counting to ten before pulling the cord

But I’ll keep on flying
Even though I feel I’m falling
And I’ll keep on crying
When inside I’m really bawling
And if anybody asks you why I keep trying
Tell them if I stop
I’m sure to die

I used to think that our love was a sail ship
With a rudder to guide us and keep us on course
We stitched up the sails as they became ripped
We drifted to comfort
Our love kept us warm

But we’ve grown apart
Leaving me broken-hearted
Now I’m searching for a lighthouse
To swim to the shore

But I’ll keep on swimming
Even though I feel I’m drowning
And I’ll keep on smiling
When inside I’m really frowning
And if anybody asks you why I keep trying
Tell them if I stop…

I don’t want to fight again
Want to quit before I lose a friend
My sandcastle washed away
My black and white turned to gray
And I’m lonely
And it’s time for a change
I’m so scared and lonely
I’m swimming in gray

It’s too late
Though I hate to admit it
We worked so hard to save what felt so right
A twist of fate
Turned us upside-down
And a spiral of broken dreams swept up our nights
And I’m dying
It’s too late
And I’m dying
It’s too late
And I’m dying
It’s too late
It’s too late
