You Got to Me Too Late

from Passenger by cygne

lyrics

Where were you when I had faith
Where were you before I pushed the world away
Well where were you when I was brave
Where were you when I had all I gave

Oh no - now you’ve come
In hope of some love

Where were you when I had grace
Where were you before I needed all this space
Where were you I still prayed
For you and this very day

Don’t go yet, no, wait a minute
Maybe I ain’t finished 
Maybe I still have a little love left to give

I’m sorry they got to me too early
Sorry that you got to me too late
You missed your turn at the love that you deserve
So now I gotta turn you away

Where were you when I felt safe
Where were you before I needed to escape
Where were you before the pain
Where were you when I was strong enough to stay

Oh no - what have we done
I think that you’re the one
So why the hell are you gonna run away

I’m sorry that they got to me too early
Sorry that you got to me too late
Oh why couldn’t you have hurried
Don’t you know hope’s got an expiration date?
Why couldn’t you have hurried
Oh but it’s never too late
