Too Late
Corey Rooney Lyrics

First you say that you have to go away
You said you needed to leave me and end our relationship.

I never should have been with you anyway
I never should have pursued a relationship with you in the first place.

And now you say you want to stay
Now you changed your mind and want to stay with me.

It's too late, 'cause I'm sending you on your way
It's too late for you to stay because I have made my decision to end our relationship and move on.

You say that you have to go away
You told me that you needed to leave me behind.

I never really loved you anyway
I never truly loved you or had strong feelings for you.

And now you say you want to stay
Now you want to stay with me, but it's too late for that.

It's too late, it's too late
The moment has passed and it's now too late for us to work things out.

Like a puppet on a string
You controlled me and made me do what you wanted.

You came and took control of me
You came and took control over my actions.

Would've given anything
I was willing to do anything for you, even things that were not in my best interest.

To be your one and only
I wanted to be your only romantic partner.

Filled my head with fantasies
You made me imagine a future with you filled with amazing things that could happen.

Of what one day you'd give to me
You made me think about the things you could give me and what our future together would look like.

Full of hope for what could be
I was full of hope for our relationship and what it could become.

(I sat and waited patiently)
I waited patiently and did not put pressure on you to move the relationship forward.

For a time you were for me
At one point, you were everything I wanted in a partner.

Everything that I could need
You provided everything I needed in a romantic relationship.

Gave me time and diamond rings
You gave me time and expensive gifts like diamond rings, but it was not enough.

But something else was missing
Despite all the things you gave me, something was lacking in the relationship.

You never stayed the whole night through
You always left before morning and could not commit to spending the whole night with me.

I suffered, prayed and cried for you
I went through difficult times yearning for your love.

After all that we've been through
Despite everything we went through in our relationship, it is now over.

I feel I never even knew you
I realized that I did know who you truly were and that we were not meant to be together.

There's no need to call me on the phone
You do not need to call me and try to work things out because it's too late.

I don't wanna hear from you no more
I am not interested in any further communication with you.

No need, don't call
There is no need to call me or try to make amends.

Don't be a fool and stand outside my door
Do not embarrass yourself by showing up at my door after I have ended our relationship.

'Cause being the woman that I am
As a strong and independent woman,

I got to go on with other plans
I have my own plans and aspirations that do not involve you anymore.
