Lyrics Too Late - Minke

Too Late

I first saw the fire
Standing underneath a no smoking sign
As the flames got higher
They would only burn us sometimes
And you call me, but you’re caught up
And you won’t leave, but you want love
And I see you fall
But I’m not strong enough to hold you up
And to own it, or to be us
Or to be free, with no trust
And it’s taking all of my energy
How can I love you?
How can I love you?
You say you’re gonna wait for me, but you’re already gone
How can I want you?
How can I want you?
'Cause you’re so far away from me, I don’t know who you are
You wanna live in a fantasy, sounds so sweet, babe
But you can’t escape the reality of tragedy, babe
How can I love you?
How can I love you?
It’s too fuckin' late for me, can’t do this anymore
I turned to the skies
After shots were fired in broad daylight
Like everything’s fine
With water running from your eyes
And you call me, but you’re caught up
And you won’t leave, but you want love
And I see you fall
But I’m not strong enough to hold you up
And to own it, or to be us
Or to be free, with no trust
And it’s taking all of my energy
How can I love you?
How can I love you?
You say you’re gonna wait for me, but you’re already gone
How can I want you?
How can I want you?
'Cause you’re so far away from me, I don’t know who you are
You wanna live in a fantasy, sounds so sweet, babe
But you can’t escape the reality of tragedy, babe
How can I love you?
How can I love you?
It’s too fuckin' late for me, can’t do this anymore
We already know, we already broke it
And I really hope you don’t feel alone tonight
But don’t bring her home and lead her to fall for you
Until you find whatever it is you’re looking for
How can I love you?
How can I love you?
You say you’re gonna wait for me, but you’re already gone
How can I want you?
How can I want you?
'Cause you’re so far away from me, I don’t know who you are
You wanna live in a fantasy, sounds so sweet, babe
But you can’t escape the reality of tragedy, babe
How can I love you?
How can I love you?
It’s too fuckin' late for me, can’t do this anymore
