[Verse 1]
I was young, but I felt so old
Empty cup, and my hands were cold
Mama said, "Boy, don't lose your way"
I hit that road and I made that mistake
Red and blue in the rearview glow
One bad night turned into a no-go
License gone, and my pride got split
Had to sit there and live with it
I told myself, "You can fix this later"
But the shame came back even greater
Same old room, same busted frame
Looking in the glass like, "Am I enough still?"
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep on falling
Try to stand, keep stalling
Whole world feel so small
When you hear that call
[Chorus]
Too little, too late
I been carrying that weight
Too little, too late
Still I get up anyway
Paper plate dreams
And a heart in the seams
Too little, too late
But I still get up anyway
[Verse 2]
I drank to hush what I couldn't say
Thought the bottle might clean the pain away
But it only left a deeper scar
Took me farther from who I are
Friends moved on, and the bills piled high
I was smiling with a hurt inside
Every win felt borrowed and thin
Like I couldn't let the good part in
I'm tired of acting like I'm strong
When the night gets long, it gets real wrong
And every voice in my head goes back
You ain't enough, you ain't enough, that's facts
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep on falling
Try to stand, keep stalling
Whole world feel so small
When you hear that call
[Chorus]
Too little, too late
I been carrying that weight
Too little, too late
Still I get up anyway
Paper plate dreams
And a heart in the seams
Too little, too late
But I still get up anyway
[Bridge]
If I could talk to that scared kid
I'd say, "You still got something in it"
One wrong turn don't write your name
One dark night don't kill the flame
I wear my mess like a second skin
But I know the fight ain't over, then
If love ever comes, let it come clean
To the parts of me that I used to hide
[Final Chorus]
Too little, too late
I been carrying that weight
Too little, too late
Still I get up anyway
Paper plate dreams
And a heart in the seams
Too little, too late
But I still get up anyway
