Never Too Late
Louise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you wanted from me
I only caused you pain and misery
I know I hesitated when I
Should've come through
Should've made the commitment you
Always wanted me to
And you know it ain't right
To ruin our lives
Over one foolish fight
It's never too late to change your mind
It's never too late to turn back time
Sometimes you hurt sometimes you cry
It's never too late to change your mind
Call me
Baby call me
What's this I hear about you gonna
Walk down the aisle
You know this is crazy boy
You're just in denial
Why are you doing this is it just out of spite
Are you afraid of being left alone like
I left you so many nights
And I know it ain't right
And you know it ain't right
To ruin our lives
Over one foolish fight
It's never too late to change your mind
It's never too late to turn back time
Sometimes you hurt sometimes you cry
It's never too late to change your mind
Don't throw love away baby
Call me
Baby call me
Will we ever turn this love around
Will we ever turn this love around
Will we ever turn this love around
It's never too late to change your mind
Sometimes you hurt sometimes you cry
I know I'm in your heart
There's no doubt you're in mine
This kind of love you only
Find once in a lifetime
It's never too late to change your mind
It's never too late to turn back time
Sometimes you hurt sometimes you cry
It's never too late to change your mind
Don't throw it all away baby
Call me
Baby call me
Just call me
{repeat chorus to fade}
The song "Never Too Late" by Louise is about a relationship that is on the verge of breaking down due to the male partner's lack of commitment. The female protagonist admits that she hasn't given him what he wanted, which has caused pain and distress in their relationship. She knows that she should have made the commitment he had been asking for, but she hesitated and failed to come through. The couple is on the brink of ruining their lives over one foolish fight.
The song delivers a message of hope, as the singer urges her partner to change his mind before it is too late. She insists that he can turn back time and save their relationship. She questions his decision to walk down the aisle with another woman, asking if it is just out of spite or fear of being left alone. The song's message is that it is never too late to save a relationship, and sometimes it requires taking a step back and making changes to turn things around.

What you wanted from me
The things that you desire from me
I only caused you pain and misery
I am responsible for the suffering and sadness you’ve experienced

I acknowledge that I procrastinated when I
Should've come through
I should have followed through on my promises
Should've made the commitment you
I should have dedicated myself to the commitment that you
Always wanted me to
Desired for me to accomplish

Why are you taking action? Are you motivated by a desire to harm?
Are you afraid of being left alone like
Are you fearing being forsaken like
I left you so many nights
I abandoned you on countless occasions
Will we ever turn this love around
Will we ever revive this affection?
I know I'm in your heart
I'm aware that I reside in your heart
There's no doubt you're in mine
There is no uncertainty that you are in mine
