It's Late

You say you love me
And I hardly know your name
And if I say I love you in the candlelight
There's no one but myself to blame
But there's something inside that's turning my mind away
Oh, how I could love you
If I could let you stay
It's late
When I'm bleeding deep inside
Ooh, is it just my sickly pride?
Too late
Even now the feeling seems to steal away
Though I'm crying, I can't help but hear you say
It's late, it's late, it's late, but not too late
The way you love me
Is the sweetest love around
But after all this time, the more I'm trying
The more I seem to let you down
Now you tell me you're leaving
And I just can't believe it's true
Oh, you know that I can love you
Though I know I can't be true
Oh, you made me love you
Don't tell me that we're through
It's late
But it's driving me so mad
Yes, I know, but don't try to tell me that it's
Too late
Save our love, you can't turn out the lights
I've been wrong, but I'll learn to be right
It's late, it's late, it's late, but not too late
I've been so long, you've been so long
We've been so long trying to work it out
I ain't got long, you ain't got long
We gotta know what this life is all about
You're staring at me with suspicion in your eye
You say what game are you playing
What's this that you're saying?
I know that I can't reply
If I take you tonight, is it making my life a lie?
Oh, you make me wonder
Did I live my life right?
It's late
But it's time to set me free
Ooh yes, I know, but there's no way it has to be
Too late
So let the fire take our bodies this night
Let the waters take our guilt in the tide, now
It's late, it's late, it's late, it's late
It's late, it's late, it's late
Far too late
