Scenery is nothing more than poetry.
Love is nothing more than chemicals.
'Cause fairy tales are just scribbled pages filled with happy endings and little white lies.
One person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.


A couple weeks,
And it'll be moving day.
I made a promise,
But it got lost along the way.
You're relocating to another state,
I highly doubt we'll keep in contact.
Recently, you've been resting in my head,
And you've gotta know, in my life you were the biggest impact.
But you'll force my picture out of your mind, can't stand to see my face,
Now I'm suffocating in this world, such a dark and frigid place...
I'm a little too late!
To tell you exactly how I feel.
It's a little too late!
I can't mend the already-broken seal.
Without you, I'm nothing, why is this so difficult?
I don't want you, to leave me, but it's all my fault.
You'll board that plane, won't look back,
Forget the slightest thing we ever had.
And I'll be stuck here deciphering what went wrong,
While you're already a few hundred miles gone.
This can't be real, we could've started a clean slate,
But I'm a little too late...
Could you provide me with just one kiss?
I want you to know what you're leaving behind.
We could be something, you could cancel the whole plan,
It might be midnight, but we still have time.
Look at my face, my eyes will tell if I attempt to lie,
You know you don't have to leave.
Though this might be your only chance to escape,
And I don't want you to be stuck here just for me.
But you'll force my picture out of your mind, can't stand to see my face,
Now I'm suffocating in this world, such a dark and frigid place...
I'm a little too late!
To tell you exactly how I feel.
It's a little too late!
I can't mend the already-broken seal.
Without you, I'm nothing, why is this so difficult?
I don't want you, to leave me, but it's all my fault.
You'll board that plane, won't look back,
Forget the slightest thing we ever had.
And I'll be stuck here deciphering what went wrong,
While you're already a few hundred miles gone.
This can't be real, we could've started a clean slate,
But I'm a little too late...
Don't base your decision on a temporary bliss,
Because we both can agree I'm not worth it.
I'm just another memory you can make,
Easily replaced, I'm not that hard to shake.
I fooled around and let the time slip by,
Had so many moments to make my move, but I let them all float away into the sky.
Won't ask you to stay, setting myself straight,
You're packed and ready to depart, I'm a little too late...
I'm a little too late!
To tell you exactly how I feel. (I feel)
It's a little too late!
I can't mend the already-broken seal. (I'm broken)
Without you, I'm nothing, why is this so difficult?
I don't want you, to leave me, but it's all my fault. (Blame me)
You'll board that plane, won't look back,
Forget the slightest thing we ever had. (Amnesia strikes)
And I'll be stuck here deciphering what went wrong,
While you're already a few hundred miles gone. (Miles gone)
This can't be real, we could've started a clean slate,
But I'm a little too late... (A little too late)
I'm a little, I'm a little,
I'm a little too late.
A little too late.
Called your phone,
To hear your voice one last time before you escape.
All I receive is a disconnected voice, and that's when I realize I'm,
A little too late...
