Too Little, Too Late (Amazon Music Songline) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The whole town is talking 'bout how you've fallen in love

I read in the papers he's someone that girls dream about

Some kind of ruler on top of a kingdom

I'm just a jester, I'll never be him

Last night you called to me

It almost killed me

[Chorus]

To hear you scream my name

Your smile still kills the same

I almost turned around

You chased me to the ground

You asked me how I've been

But how could I begin

To tell you I should've chased

You 'cross every singlе state?

I lay down my sword for fate

'Cause it's too littlе, all too late

[Verse 2]

I didn't need the reminder of things I've done wrong

Of promises broken, fragility hidden in song

Guess that we're soulmates in different lifetimes

What if you leave him? Throw me a lifeline

I know that you're happy

But it just killed me[Chorus]

To hear you scream my name

A clear fucking X-ray

Of if I'd stuck around

I swear to God, I almost drowned

You asked me how I've been

But how could I begin

To tell you I should've chased you

I should be who you're engaged to?

[Bridge]

Lost my fight with fate

A tug-of-war of leave and stay

I give in, I abdicate

I lay my sword down anyway

I'll see you at Heaven's gate

'Cause it's too little, all too late

[Outro]

I'll toast outside your wedding day

Whisper vows I'll never say to you

'Cause it's too little, all too late

(Ah, as you've probably noticed we've made it to the dra- dramatic part of the evening)

(But we all know I love the drama, ha)

(Um, okay)
