Too Late
Stealing Eden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm always tripping the wire
She's got me watching every step I take
She's such a pretty disaster
I don't know how much more of this I can take
Before I break

I'm tethered by her desires
I can see it was all a big mistake
I'm jumping out of the fire
She's got me burning her
And at the stake
This life I hate

It's too late
I'm being pushed away, pushed away
It's too late, this time
So I'm leaving it all behind

I'm tired of being abused
I'm tired of always hanging from your noose
I'm tired of being used
Now there's nothing left for me to do
Because of you

It's too late
I'm being pushed away, pushed away
It's too late, this time
I'm trying to tell you
It's too late
I'm being pushed away, pushed away
It's too late, this time
I'm leaving it all behind

It's too late
I'm being pushed away, pushed away
It's too late this time
I'm trying to tell you it's too late
I'm being pushed away, pushed away
It's too late, this time




So I'm leaving it all behind
Behind
