Too Little, Too Late

Too Little, Too Late

You're the only one to bring out this side of me

Suddenly the distance gives you anxiety

What about the nights when I'd lay breathless

In my bed, up for days, completely restless

And you were the only thing on my mind

Felt the day your heart went cold, I was still blind

And your spell engulfed my life, my heart

Wrong to think I knew loves hurt at our start

Then every single day, second, hour

Emotions wrapped in you, my heart they'd devour

While I'd feel your eyes across my shoulder

You didn't realize, now my heart grows colder

Worked up the courage to send those flowers

To express the love built over so many hours

Publicly reject me, to them I'm beneath you

Behind closed doors I'm the piece to complete you

Took me a few days to know never before seen land

Look slightly deeper, it was the back of your hand

Hurting, it took years before your feelings accepted

At this point how could I not be a bit skeptic?

The true nature of this reality ill admit

The player got played, yeah you did it

Though I see now, its nothing to be proud of

This pain from too slowly reciprocated love
