It's Too Late
We looked the part of an American family
With two kids, a house, and a car
A dad that worked and a mom that worked harder
Kids will make you older than you are
It's too late now
All the days we had together
It's too late now
All the trials we had to weather
It's too late now
All the rights we tried to measure
They don't matter - 'cause it's too late now
Our scars weren't outside where you could see 'em
But they were deep and jagged just the same
We tried to find someone out there to treat 'em
Couldn't cite a cure - only the blame
We went to church every stinkin' Sunday
Sat in silence, prayed for better days
Side by side yet wishing we were elsewhere
So I turned and took my heart away
It's too late now
All the days we had together
It's too late now
All the trials we had to weather
It's too late now
All the rights we tried to measure
They don't matter - 'cause it's too late now
I know we tried to do the right thing
We couldn't finally agree
Never the family we were meant to be
Now you're beyond the world of strife
I'm wishing I'd done better with my life
It's too late now
All the days we had together
It's too late now
All the trials we had to weather
It's too late now
All the rights we tried to measure
They don't matter - 'cause it's too late now
With two kids, a house, and a car
A dad that worked and a mom that worked harder
Kids will make you older than you are
It's too late now
All the days we had together
It's too late now
All the trials we had to weather
It's too late now
All the rights we tried to measure
They don't matter - 'cause it's too late now
Our scars weren't outside where you could see 'em
But they were deep and jagged just the same
We tried to find someone out there to treat 'em
Couldn't cite a cure - only the blame
We went to church every stinkin' Sunday
Sat in silence, prayed for better days
Side by side yet wishing we were elsewhere
So I turned and took my heart away
It's too late now
All the days we had together
It's too late now
All the trials we had to weather
It's too late now
All the rights we tried to measure
They don't matter - 'cause it's too late now
I know we tried to do the right thing
We couldn't finally agree
Never the family we were meant to be
Now you're beyond the world of strife
I'm wishing I'd done better with my life
It's too late now
All the days we had together
It's too late now
All the trials we had to weather
It's too late now
All the rights we tried to measure
They don't matter - 'cause it's too late now
