Better Late Than Never
Bree Lefler Lyrics

Close your eyes,
Let go of your guard and be vulnerable.

Tell me lies,
Say what you think I want to hear, even if it's not true.

You can break my heart
You have the power to hurt me emotionally.

But don't you break it twice
Don't keep hurting me over and over again.

Grab my hand
Reach out to me for support and help me out of this emotional mess.

'Cause the sinking sand
We're both in a precarious situation that could fall apart at any moment.

Has its grip on me too tight
I'm struggling to get free of this difficult situation.

So hold out
Stay strong and don't let go.

Any more words
I don't want to hear any more empty promises or excuses.

Any more alibis
Don't try to explain away your behavior or justify it with excuses.

'Cause I've run out of games to play
I'm tired of the back and forth, and I'm done with playing games.

You either leave me or you stay
Make a commitment and stick with it.

Through the nightmares
Even when things are at their worst and most terrifying.

Though the past is haunted,
Even if we have unresolved issues or painful memories from the past.

We can lock out all our ghosts
We can make a conscious effort to put these issues to rest and move forward together.

And chase away the winter storm
We can make things right and bring warmth to our relationship.

Together
Only if we work together, can we make this happen.

'Cause it's better late than never
It's not too late to save our relationship, and it's worth putting in the time and effort to do so.

Summer nights
Times when things were once warm.

Turn to endless fights
Problems and arguments that never seem to get resolved.

That you always win
One person is always coming out on top and not letting the other person have a say.

Because your bark, it bites
The other person is very sharp and harsh with their words and actions.

The air between us
Our relationship and communication.

Has gotten so cold
Things have gotten to a point where we're not even interacting anymore.

That my body's numb from frostbite
I've gotten so used to the coldness between us that it's affecting me physically.

So take back
Undo and fix what you've done.

All of your words
The hurtful things you've said.

All of your alibis
The excuses you've made for your behavior.

'Cause two wrongs don't make a right
Just because one person is wrong doesn't mean it's okay for the other person to behave badly too.

Oh (oh)
Expressing emotional intensity or passion.

So tell me if you're here to stay,
Are you committed to making this work?

Or walk away now
If you're not committed, then leave now and don't waste any more time.

Yeah, all these games you play
The back and forth, hot and cold behavior that's causing turmoil in our relationship.

It's better late than never
It's not too late to make things right, and it's worth the effort to try.
