Too Late to Stay

[HOOK / OPENING]

We both know where this is going
Even if we don't say it
I can feel the distance growing
Every time we try to save it

[VERSE 1]

We used to talk until the morning
Like we had nowhere else to be
Now every silence feels enormous
And every word comes carefully

I still know the way you look at me
When you don't know what to say
And I still wish that I could change it
But wishing won't make it stay

[PRE-CHORUS]

Maybe love can still be real
And still not be enough
Maybe letting go is harder
When you haven't stopped the love

[CHORUS]

It's too late to stay
Too far gone to turn around
We can hold each other closer
But we're still breaking down

It's too late to stay
Though I wish it wasn't true
Sometimes goodbye is not because
I stopped loving you

[VERSE 2]

I remember all the little things
The way you laughed at nothing much
The quiet nights, the honest talks
The feeling of your hand in mine

And I don't want to make you blame yourself
Or make myself the one to blame
We gave everything we knew to give
But some things don't remain

[PRE-CHORUS]

Maybe love can still be real
And still not be enough
Maybe letting go is harder
When you haven't stopped the love

[CHORUS]

It's too late to stay
Too far gone to turn around
We can hold each other closer
But we're still breaking down

It's too late to stay
Though I wish it wasn't true
Sometimes goodbye is not because
I stopped loving you

[BRIDGE]

If I could take us back
I'd still choose those days
But I wouldn't change the ending
Just to keep us the same

You were never nothing
You were everything for a while
And I'll carry what we had
Even when I walk away

[FINAL CHORUS]

It's too late to stay
Too far gone to turn around
We can hold each other closer
But we're still breaking down

It's too late to stay
And I finally understand
Sometimes loving someone deeply
Means knowing when to let them go

It's too late to stay
Though I'll always care for you
Sometimes goodbye is not because
I stopped loving you
