Lyrics
Description
Phone rings at midnight, you say you messed up again Forgot the cracks in the wall, the stories I′ve been told within
Your voice, a familiar tremble, but I′m colder than your tone Tried to patch the silence, but baby, this house ain’t home You′re diving up the past, but I′m already packing bags Your promises like broken watches, taking time that never lasts I held on to the ghosts, but they′re fading out of sight Caught between forgiveness and the flame of my own fight
But it’s too little, too late when you’re knocking at my door I’ve been running from your shadows, now I’m stronger than before Tried to write the ending, but the page has torn away Your sorry’s just a whisper—too little, too late today
Remember all those roads we burned while you were chasing dreams? I stayed burning candles, hoping you′d see beyond those schemes Now I′m trading broken talks for steps on a brand new street Your calls are fading, signaling I′m too old to a different beat You′re replaying faded scenes, but the curtain′s falling fast I′m weaving through the silence, leaving empty words in the past You′re stuck on yesterday, but I′m swimming towards the sea
No rewinds on this trip, the show is finally done But it’s too little, too late when you’re knocking at my door I’ve been running from your shadows, now I’m stronger than before Tried to write the ending, but the page has torn away Your sorry’s just a whisper—too little, too late today
I′m not a backtrack on your playlist, or a rewind you′ll regret I′m the sun right after storms, a spark you won′t forget So keep your apologies, they don′t fill this empty space I′m a story moving forward, not a ghost you′ll chase
But it’s too little, too late when you’re knocking at my door I’ve been running from your shadows, now I’m stronger than before Tried to write the ending, but the page has torn away Your sorry’s just a whisper—too little, too late today
I′m the sun right after storms, a spark you′ll chase But it′s too little, too late when you′re knocking at my door I′m the sun right after storms, a spark you′ll chase
