Don't Say It's Too Late
Westlife · World Of Our Own [2001]
it doesn't take much to learn
when the bridges that you burn
leave you stranded feeling alone
it doesn't take much to cry
when you're living in a lie
and deceiving that someone who cares
if i could turn back the time
I would put you first in my life
chorus
and I would risk it all for you
to prove my love is true
I'll build a wall around my heart
that will only break a part for you
can't change the way I feel
so tell me what's the deal
don't say, dont say its too late
and now. the hills are getting hard to climb
I'm runnin out of time
my decisions are pending on you
and I will accept the blame
for burnin out the flame
hoping the story will twist once again
And if I could turn back the time
I would put you first in my life
chorus
now I'm layin it all on the line for you
chorus
when the bridges that you burn
leave you stranded feeling alone
it doesn't take much to cry
when you're living in a lie
and deceiving that someone who cares
if i could turn back the time
I would put you first in my life

and I would risk it all for you
to prove my love is true
I'll build a wall around my heart
that will only break a part for you
can't change the way I feel
so tell me what's the deal
don't say, dont say its too late
and now. the hills are getting hard to climb
I'm runnin out of time
my decisions are pending on you
and I will accept the blame
for burnin out the flame
hoping the story will twist once again
And if I could turn back the time
I would put you first in my life
