A Little Too Late
Regret's Echo: A Love Unspoken
Lyrics
Forever was shorter than what I was thinkin',
Forever seemed shorter than anticipated
Now all we have left is yesterday,
Only memories of the past remain
I guess I wasn't what you wanted,
I wasn't the desired choice
Til you saw me turn and walk away,
You only noticed my value when I walked away
Be still you had me feelin' small, when I'm six foot four
You made me feel insignificant despite my stature
Fed up with you always comin' up short,
Frustrated with your continual shortcomings
Tired of all the games you play,
Tired of the manipulative games you played
Funny how now, you've got so much to say
Ironically, now you have a lot to express
To say, but you never
Have much to say, yet you never did
You never told me that you needed me
You never conveyed your need for me
The way that your tellin' me now
Contrasting with how you're expressing it now
You never told me that you missed me, 'till you saw me breakin' up
You never mentioned missing me until you saw me breaking down
You never told me that you loved me,
You never expressed your love for me
Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say,
Apologizing for upcoming honesty
But you're just a little to late.
Your realization comes too late
What did I do,
Reflecting on my actions and thoughts
What was I thinkin',
Regretting the choices made
When I gave you my everything, my life,
I devoted everything to you
I forgot about me and I stopped listenin',
I neglected myself, stopped paying attention to my needs
Lookin' back I can finally see the light,
In hindsight, I can see clearly now
You were happiest when I was all stressed out and losin' hair,
Your happiness stemmed from my distress
Reachin' out for you and you didn't care,
Reaching out to you when I needed support, but you were indifferent
Tired of all the games you play
Tired of the manipulative games you played
Funny how now you've got so much to say,
Ironically, now you have a lot to express
To say but you never told
You had much to say, yet you never did
You never told me that you needed me
You never conveyed your need for me
The way that your tellin' me now
Contrasting with how you're expressing it now
You never told me that you missed me, 'till you saw me breakin' out
You never mentioned missing me until you saw me breaking down
You never told me that you loved me,
You never expressed your love for me
Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say,
Apologizing for upcoming honesty
But you're just a little to late.
Your realization comes too late
I know,
Recognition of the situation
But why couldn't you tell me when I needed to hear it before
Questioning why these feelings weren't communicated earlier
I know,
Understanding the lack of further words
There's not much else to say
This is heartbreak, heart tellin' why the hell would I want to try again,
Describing the pain and questioning the idea of trying again
There's no way that we could still be friends, 'cause you never, you never told me
No possibility of friendship due to the lack of communication
You never told me that you needed me (yeah)
You never conveyed your need for me (yeah)
The way that your tellin' me now (yeah)
Contrasting with how you're expressing it now (yeah)
You never told me that you missed me, (no, no) 'till you saw me breakin' out
You never mentioned missing me until you saw me breaking down (no, no)
You never told me that you loved me (hey yeah, hey yeah),
You never expressed your love for me (hey yeah, hey yeah)
Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say,
Apologizing for upcoming honesty
Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say
-Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say,
-But you're just a little to late.
Your realization comes too late
Do do do do be do
Vocalization of tune
Yeah yeah yeah
Confirmation of being too late
Your just a little to late
Reiteration of lateness
Do do do do dodo do do be do
Vocalization of tune
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Confirmation of being too late
Do do do do be do
Vocalization of tune
Yeah yeah
Confirmation of being too late
Do do do do do be do
Vocalization of tune
Oh no no no, oh yeah.
Expression of disappointment
