Too Late

From the word go
I was ready to jump in
Ready for something
Could(n't) help but let it show
Just wanted you to know
That I was waiting for nothing

But even though I told you that
You couldn't seem to hold it back
I wish I could've known
Waiting up by the phone
Instead of turning and running, yeah

I know that you've been hurt before baby
But didn't have to do the same to me
I keep on telling myself

That I wish I knew better
Than to believe it when you said to me
That I was all that you would ever need to stay
Now that I know better
Than to believe the things you say to me
I'm moving on, know that you'll always be too late
Too late

Player of the game
Didn't have any shame
Pushing a lie or illusion

For you to get your way
Always saying my name
With underhanded intention

Ever the clever diplomat
But never one to say it back

I guess I should've known
You were just all alone
Needing another distraction
Ey, yeah

I know that you've been hurt before baby
But didn't have to do the same to me
I keep on telling myself

That I wish I knew better
Than to believe it when you said to me
That I was all that you would ever need to stay
Now that I know better
Than to believe the things you say to me
I'm moving on, know that you'll always be too late
Too late

Too late, too late, too late
Too late, too late, too late

All the things you should've said to me
Knew exactly what to keep from me
Told me lies to keep my right by your side

Thought that you and I were meant to be
Blind to all the lies that you told me
Now I get to thinking night after night

That I wish I knew better
Than to believe it when you said to me
That I was all that you would ever need to stay
Now that I know better
Than to believe the things you say to me
I'm moving on, know that you'll always be too late
Too late

Too late, too late, too late
Too late, too late, too late
