You Waited Too Long
Blue October · Any Man in America [2011]
("If you think your marriage is so great, why the fuck are you turning to
other people's wives for comfort?"
"Can... can I tell you what, what was going on here?"
"Yeah, please do.")
Did he really get to take you home?
I'm surprised that you chose... him
I'm surprised that I'm not in a halfway home
I'm not surprised I never saw you around...
When they brought me home
So who does this separation work for?
So which one of us will wage one more?
It's not about, the feelings that we shared before... no
Cause your words don't calm anymore... god, no more
What did you want me for?
How, do you call
What we had love when you don't even notice
That look upon my face
Yeah I've done this before
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
You waited too long
Did she really think I'd take it?
With information fabricated
Look, I give you credit for pathetically thinking
That you could make this up
"Watch this!"
She turns about-face.
Stays in our house invading your space
Helpless, you know that I'm away,
A mac truck sitting in a hotel crazy
Red light on the phone,
Blinking like it's telling me "there's something wrong or right"
You don't... I need to know
How do you call
What we have love when you don't even notice
That look upon my face
Yeah I've done this before
You'll be sorry when I'm gone, yeah
You waited too long
How do you call
What we have love when you don't even notice
The look upon my face
Yeah I've done this before
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
Yeah you waited too
Yeah you waited too long
This is urgent
Calling emergencies, I don't know how to stop 'em
More cap gun than a pistol
You fill your clip with lies
Then load each one and fire right over my head
I need a finish line, this pressure's too high
I should have seen the end was coming sooner than I ever did
Reach down in the pit of my soul
I found things that I didn't wanna know were there
I guess the wait is over
Oh how do you call
What we have love when you don't even notice
That look upon my face
Yeah I've done this before
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
Yeah, you waited too long
Oh how do you call
What we have love when you don't even notice
That look upon my face (I know you're sorry)
Yeah I've done this before (I know you're sorry)
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
Yeah, you waited too long
