Too Late

I returned the smiles I borrowed
Now, they talked me late at night
Got me on the way to where I'm losin' my mind
And those possible tomorrows
Tell me somethin' isn't right
Though I'm goin' nowhere, I won't be retired

'Cause it's too late
For words that were spoken
Too late, it's already broken
Why wait? It's too late

The echoes of what could be
Keep laughin' hard at me
But failure's just another word for entropy
My bad timin' helps with
Ensurin' I will be chaotically
Messin' up effortlessly

It's too late for clever explanations
Too late, there is no more patience
No debate, it is too late
Too late for anyone to make it
Too late even to defend it
Oh, it's too late

Too late to try, sort it out
Too late, there's just no doubt
No time to contemplate it
Too late to run away and hide
Too late, it's already died
Shake me, it's too late

Let it recklessly hollow
How it all slips away
But there would be no tomorrow
Without a yesterday
