A Little Too Late

It’s a little too late for us to say we’ve covered up all wrongs
I’ve been biding time to avoid the worst of it but before too long
You offer me a subtle sign with your sympathetic smile
I’m ready to reveal it all so I can follow you down that solitary mile

It’s a little too late for us to try and read between the lines
I’m no open book, but then again I’m hardly half-inclined
To offer you all my heart when it’s impossible to gauge
There’ll be a better place to start
instead of nibbling at the contents page
There’s no harm in it
Nobody knows, what makes you do the things you do
Now I’m at a loss
And I can’t get across
This feeling I’ve been here before with you
You offered me a better way, the directions were unclear
I’m happy to reveal it all, if it means that I can disappear
It’s a little too late to make amends it’s all been said and done
We’ve been down that road well too many times, I’d rather cut and run
