Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when it was there for you, because now you're coming back to me and you recognize the love that was once there, but now I found somebody else, and it's too late. I'm sorry.
You should've known that I loved you
You should've seen it in my eyes
Should've allowed yourself to believe in love and recognize
That my love it wasn't going nowhere
No one but you was in my heart
[Chorus]
Baby
It's too late
You missed out on me
And I'm so sad
Sad that you're gone away
I'm sorry you missed out on me
But it's too late
You let love slip away
And you should have known that I was open
You should've seen it in my smile
Should've allowed yourself to be an adult instead of a child
But you were the one with insecurities
So don't try and put the blame on me
You never knew that my love was really here to stay
[Chorus]
Baby tell me how you let our love fade away
When you knew I cared for you
And baby I loved you
And you never gave me your everything
This love that was meant for you
[Chorus:Repeat x4]
