It's Too Late
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
Just to pass the time.
There's somethin' wrong here.
There can be no denying.
One of us is changin'
Or maybe we just stopped trying
And it's too late, baby,
Now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no..
It used to be so easy
Livin' here with you.
You were light and breezy
And I knew just what to do.
Now you look so unhappy
And I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby,
Now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it.
Oh, no, no..
There'll be good times again
For me and you,
But we just can't stay together.
Can't you feel it too?
Still I'm glad for what we had
And how I once loved you,
But it's too late, baby,
Now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no..
It's too late, baby.
It's too late, now, darlin'.
It's too late.
