Too Late
Reggie Jamz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1:

When we first started we said that we'd never be apart
Cause your the first girl I honestly thought had my heart
Somewhere in the middle we fell off and couldn't get back on
Somewhere in the middle we fell off and now I'm all alone

Pre-Chorus:
(I can't believe it) I'm stuck in the middle of between here and there
(Can You believe this) Believe me when I say that I care
I know you thinking that I'm lying but why would I have to lie?
(Would I have to lie?)

Chorus/Hook:

Cause baby now I see that love ain't fair because if it was you'd still be here
And now that I see time stops for nobody there's just no way that you can fight it
Cause what was mean't to be
Wasn't't mean't for me
And what soon would be
Can't include you and me
Cause I know that it's
Too Late, for us...

Verse 2:

Even though I try to pick myself up and just keep it moving
I make myself so sick just wondering bout how you doing
See what I thought I needed
Was really what I wanted
And I wanted has just up and left me all alone and...

Pre-Chorus:
(I can't believe it) I'm stuck in the middle of between here and there
(Can You believe this) Believe me when I say that I care
I know you thinking that I'm lying but why would I have to lie?
(Would I have to lie?)

Chorus/Hook:

Cause baby now I see that love ain't fair because if it was you'd still be here
And now that I see time stops for nobody there's just no way that you can fight it
Cause what was mean't to be
Wasn't't mean't for me
And what soon would be
Can't include you and me
Cause I know that it's
Too Late, for us...

Break/Vamp:

Now if you know what I know and you wanna keep her close you gotta treat her right... (Treat her right)
And if you know what I know and you wanna keep him close you gotta treat him right... (Treat him right)





Repeat Chorus/Hook
Fades Out

Overall Meaning

The song "Too Late" by Reggie Jamz presents a story of love that ended up in separation. The verse one presents the beginning of the relationship where both parties agreed not to be apart. However, they fell off along the way and couldn't get back together. The pre-chorus emphasizes the feelings of being stuck and wanting to prove his sincerity. The chorus/hook delivers the message that love is unfair, and despite the desire to fight for it, time cannot be stopped. The verse two shows the aftermath of the separation, where he tries to move on but finds it difficult to forget his lost love.


The song's lyrics depict an experience that many people who lost love can relate to, where promises and commitment become meaningless, and the harsh reality sets in that love does not always end well. The use of repetitions in the pre-chorus and chorus/hook adds a sense of melancholy and longing to the song, making the listener feel the pain of the singer's loss. The break/vamp provides an essential lesson on how to treat one’s partner right to avoid experiencing a similar situation.
