You say you love me And I hardly know your name And if I say I love you in the candle light There's no one but myself to blame But there's something inside That's turning my mind away Oh how I could love you If I could let you stay
(Chorus:) It's late - and I'm bleeding deep inside It's late - is it just my sickly pride? Too late - even now the feeling seems to slip away So late - though I'm crying I can't help but hear you say It's late It's late It's late But not too late
The way you love me Is the sweetest love around But after all this time The more I'm trying The more I seem to let you down Now you tell me you're leaving And I just can't believe it's true Oh you know that I can love you Though you know I can't be true
You're staring at me With suspision in your eye You say what game you're playing What's this that you're saying I know that I can give no reply If I take you tonight Is it making my life a lie? Oh you make me wonder Did I live my life allright
It's late - but it's time to set me free It's late - But there is no way it has to be Too late - so let the fire take our bodies this night So late - so let the water take our guilt in the tide It's late It's late It's late It's late It's late It's all too late
