Too Late
John O'Callaghan & Jennifer Rene Lyrics

First you say that you have to go away
You previously claimed that you had to leave me.

I never should have been with you anyway
You shouldn't have been with me in the first place.

And now you say you want to stay
But now you want to continue our relationship.

It's too late, 'cause I'm sending you on your way
I've already decided to break up with you and there's no going back.

You say that you have to go away
You're giving me the same excuse of having to leave.

I never really loved you anyway
I didn't truly have feelings for you.

And now you say you want to stay
But you're now trying to change your mind and keep the relationship going.

It's too late, it's too late
It's too late for you to change your mind, we are through.

Like a puppet on a string
You had control over me and my actions.

You came and took control of me
You gained power over me.

Would've given anything
I was willing to give you everything.

To be your one and only
To be your exclusive partner for life.

Filled my head with fantasies
You gave me unrealistic expectations and dreams.

Of what one day you'd give to me
You made promises of things you would give to me in the future.

Full of hope for what could be
I was hopeful for our potential future together.

(I sat and waited patiently)
I waited for you to fulfill your promises and give me what I wanted.

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

Everything that I could need
You provided me with everything I wanted in a relationship.

Gave me time and diamond rings
You gave me time and material possessions to try and win my affection.

But something else was missing
Despite all you gave me, something essential in our relationship was still absent.

You never stayed the whole night through
You never stayed the entire night with me.

I suffered, prayed and cried for you
I endured pain, prayed for your affection, and shed tears for you.

After all that we've been through
Through everything we experienced together.

I feel I never even knew you
I realized that I never truly knew who you were as a person.

There's no need to call me on the phone
There's no reason for you to try and contact me via phone call.

I don't wanna hear from you no more
I don't want any further communication or contact with you.

No need, don't call
There's no necessity for you to call me.

Don't be a fool and stand outside my door
Don't be foolish and wait for me outside my home.

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

I got to go on with other plans
I must continue on with my life and personal goals.
