Too late to say goodbye

[Verse 1]
I gave you all the pieces of my heart,
You held them close, then tore them apart.
I tried to read the silence in your eyes,
But every answer felt like another lie.

I stayed when you were fading away,
I called your name, you had nothing to say.
Now all the words that you never spoke
Are burning like fire inside my soul.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, I know,
We can't go back tonight.
But I still, I still
See you when I close my eyes.

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, we're running out of time,
Oh-oh, you're crossing every line.
You say you love me, then you let me go,
Tell me, baby, why you hurt me so?

Oh-oh, I'm falling through the night,
Oh-oh, you're fading out of sight.
If you come back, don't come back too late,
'Cause my heart won't wait,
No, my heart won't wait.

[Verse 2]
Your photograph is lying on the floor,
I don't know what I'm keeping it for.
Every memory is calling your name,
Every little touch still feels the same.

Maybe we were never meant to last,
Maybe we were prisoners of the past.
But if you ever hear this song tonight,
Know that I loved you with all my life.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, I know,
We can't go back tonight.
But I still, I still
See you when I close my eyes.

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, we're running out of time,
Oh-oh, you're crossing every line.
You say you love me, then you let me go,
Tell me, baby, why you hurt me so?

Oh-oh, I'm falling through the night,
Oh-oh, you're fading out of sight.
If you come back, don't come back too late,
'Cause my heart won't wait,
No, my heart won't wait.

[Bridge – montée]
Don't say you're sorry,
Don't say you care,
If you're gonna leave me
Standing here.

Don't make a promise
You can't defend,
If this is goodbye,
Let this be the end.

[Final Chorus – plus rythmé]
Oh-oh, we're running out of time!
Oh-oh, you're crossing every line!
You say you love me, then you let me go,
Tell me, baby, why you hurt me so?

Oh-oh, I'm falling through the night!
Oh-oh, but I'm gonna be alright!
If you come back, don't come back too late,
'Cause my heart won't wait!

No, my heart won't wait!
No, my heart won't wait!
Too late... to say goodbye.
