It Was Too Late lyrics

It was too late for us a long long time ago
I can't explain why we don't part I just don't know
To be together only happy now and then
It's much too late for us that's how it's always been
Wasting years together surely is a sin
To know no peace of mind that's how it's always been
Why did they wait so long to let us know
It was too late for us a long long time ago
[ steel - piano ]
Can we continue on this way just being friends
We're growing more apart each day where will it end
Why don't you leave me all you have to do is go
It was too late for us a long long time ago
It was too late for us a long long time ago
