Too Late
Too Late: A Powerful Journey of Healing and Moving On
Lyrics
You show up here after all this time
You appear here after a significant period.
After all the damage you left behind
Reflecting on the harm you caused in the past.
Like I am something you can
Treating me as if I'm easily accessible.
Just turn on and off whenever you like
Using me like a switch, turning emotions on and off at will.
Tell me who do you think you are
Questioning your sense of identity and entitlement.
You’re pushing it way too far
Pushing boundaries beyond acceptable limits.
Used to do everything for you
I used to do everything for you.
But when you left out of the blue
But when you left suddenly,
I had to get over you
I had to overcome the pain and move on.
God knows I cried
Expressing intense sorrow.
God knows I screamed
Revealing emotional distress through screams.
Desperately
Desperation and deep yearning.
Praying you’d come back to me
Hoping for your return through prayers.
But time passed by
Time has passed.
And I had to find new dreams
Had to discover new aspirations.
And he loves me, he treats me right
Now in a healthy relationship where love is reciprocated.
He doesn’t disappear and he doesn’t keep me wondering why
Contrasting the current relationship with your past behavior.
So keep it to yourself when you think you’ve changed
Advising to keep personal growth to yourself.
Once that was all I wanted but you’re too late
Previously desired change but now too late.
Heard your voice, it stopped me in my tracks
Hearing your voice unexpectedly.
Thought I’d never see you again
Thought I'd never encounter you again.
And there used to be a time I’d leave everything behind
There was a time I'd forgive everything instantly.
In the blink of an eye, give you another chance
Quick to give second chances.
God knows I cried
Reiteration of past emotional pain.
And God knows I dreamed
Continued dreams about you.
Of you
Yearning for reconciliation in dreams.
Begging for forgiveness on your knees
Imagining apologies and remorse.
But you ran out of time
Time ran out for reconciliation.
And I got to find someone who deserves me
Searching for someone worthy.
And he loves me, he treats me right
In a loving relationship where respect is mutual.
He doesn’t shut me out and he doesn’t change his mind
Contrasting with past behavior – no rejection or indecision.
So keep it to yourself when you think you’ve changed
Advising discretion about personal changes.
Once that was all I wanted but you’re too late
Previously desired change but now too late.
Damn you
Expressing frustration or anger.
You could’ve been the one
You had the potential to be the one.
But you took me for granted
Taking things for granted led to ruin.
You messed it up
Acknowledging the irreparable damage.
Damn it
Expressing frustration or disappointment.
I wish you had thought of this a little sooner
Regretting the lack of earlier realization.
I know he’ll never be you
Acknowledging the new person is not a replacement.
But he’s good
Despite differences, the new person is good.
And he loves me, he treats me right
In a healthy relationship with love and respect.
He doesn’t play games and he doesn’t run and hide
Contrasting with past game-playing and avoidance.
So keep it to yourself when you think you’ve changed
Advising discretion about personal changes.
Once that was all I wanted
Previously desired change but now too late.
Yeah you were all I ever wanted
Reiterating past desires for you.
But you’re too late
Emphasizing the timing is now too late.
