Too Late
Derek Clegg Lyrics

In Derek Clegg's song "Too Late," the lyrics explore the complex and conflicting emotions that arise at the end of a relationship. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song as Clegg sings, "It's too late to say our goodbyes / And it's too soon to live in denial / How we feel / We feel something new." These lines capture the sense of uncertainty and confusion that often accompanies a break-up. Clegg acknowledges that the relationship is over, but he also hints that there may be a possibility for reconciliation.

The second verse delves deeper into Clegg's conflicting emotions as he questions why he can't be "real with [his] love." He admits that he's "only in love again" and apologizes for it. This line suggests that Clegg may have a tendency to fall in love quickly or easily, and that he's aware of his own patterns. The chorus of the song reinforces the message that it's too late to salvage the relationship, but also hints that Clegg is still holding onto hope by "sealing" all their feelings inside.

The third verse of the song takes a more optimistic turn as Clegg suggests that it's possible to find a way forward by "switch[ing] sides on all you see." In other words, he's suggesting that a change in perspective could lead to a better understanding of their situation. He ends the song on a bittersweet note with the line, "And you made a heart in home / And I love you for it," which acknowledges the positive aspects of their relationship while also acknowledging that it's time to move on.
