Verse 1
I saw your smile a thousand times,
But never read between the lines.
You stood so close, yet I looked away,
Thinking there'd always be another day.
You held the light when mine burned low,
Loved me in ways I'd never know.
Now the silence says what I couldn't say,
And I'm wishing I had stayed.
Pre-Chorus
Now every memory hits like rain,
Washing over all my pain.
If I could turn the hands of time,
I'd make your heart forever mine.
Chorus
I fell in love too late, too slow,
When you had already let me go.
Now your name is just a melody,
Haunting every part of me.
I found forever after goodbye,
Now I'm learning how to cry.
If love had waited just one more day,
Maybe you would've stayed.
Verse 2
Someone else now holds your hand,
Living all the dreams we'd planned.
I smile, pretending I'm okay,
While my heart keeps fading gray.
You were the answer all along,
The missing verse inside my song.
But I was blind until goodbye,
Now I'm left asking why.
Bridge
If our paths should cross again,
Would you remember who I've been?
Or am I just a chapter closed,
A love that never truly rose?
Final Chorus
I fell in love too late, it's true,
Right when life pulled me from you.
Now every sunset paints your face,
A beautiful, unreachable place.
Though I lost what could have been,
Your love still echoes deep within.
Some hearts meet fate a little too late...
And mine will always whisper your name.
Outro
So if you ever hear this song,
Know I've loved you all along.
Just a little too late.
