Too late for forever?

((Intro – clean electric guitar, light drums))

⸻

((Verse 1))

I never knew you felt that way
Why not say something before
You knew I always felt that way
I wasn’t just trying to score

I know my reputation
And I know you know it too
I could sense your hesitation
But I thought higher of you

⸻

((Pre-Chorus))

If I’d only known
I had a chance
At your heart

⸻

((Chorus))

Is it still too late
You know my feelings haven’t changed
Is this a good place for you
I’m ready for the start
Of forever

⸻

((Verse 2))

All those nights we talked for hours
I thought you were just being kind
Every laugh and every silence
Now it’s playing back in my mind

All the signs were in the open
But I let them drift away
Guess I never really believed
You might feel the same

⸻

((Pre-Chorus))

If I’d only known
I had a chance
At your heart

⸻

((Chorus))

Is it still too late
You know my feelings haven’t changed
Is this a good place for you
I’m ready for the start
Of forever

⸻

((Verse 3))

Funny how a single moment
Can rewrite a thousand days
All the words I left unspoken
All the chances thrown away

I was busy chasing shadows
You were standing in the light
Now the truth is crystal clear
I should’ve seen it all that night

⸻

((Breakdown Bridge – softer, stripped instrumentation))

So if you’re still there waiting
If the door’s not closed for good
I’ll say every word I should’ve
Back when you thought I never would

No more guessing
No more fear
I’m standing right here

⸻

((Final Chorus))

Is it still too late
You know my feelings haven’t changed
Is this a good place for you
I’m ready for the start
Of forever

⸻

((Last Chorus – bigger, layered guitars))

Is it still too late
You know my feelings haven’t changed
Is this a good place for you
I’m ready for the start
Of forever
