Some things just happen too late
Your affections are delayed
Should have said a few words earlier
But too late
Should have refrained from speaking
Too late
Should have never made the decisions
Too late
Should have realised you can’t stand alone
Too late
Shouldn’t have taken the burden upon yourself
And bravely shouldered it for the sake of pride
Take the shovel and dig into the ground
For a place to rest yourself
It’s too late to fix things
The love is lost
It’s too late to say sorry
The silence is too loud
It’s too late to renew the world
It’s too tired to change
It needs a more destructive start
It needs more blood
It’s too late to realise
Shouldn’t have touched
Shouldn’t have delved into intimacy
Shouldn’t have cut a portion of your flesh away
And pretend it wasn’t ever there
Shouldn’t have let the wounds open up and infest
The innocence you seem to have had
Well, it’s too late
The sky has darkened
The cut has been served
You’ve put your heart up for sale
And got it torn into pieces
This is a world that cannot help
Tainting and wrecking every good thing
You loved
