A Little Too Late
Brian McKnight · Other Songs - Brian McKnight
Than what I was thinking
Now all we have left is yesterday
I guess I wasn't what you wanted
'Til you saw me turn and walk away
But still you had me feeling small
When I'm 6 foot 4
Fed up with you always
coming up short
Tired of all the games you play
Funny how now you got so much
to say, to say
But you never
You never told me that you needed me
The way that you're telling me now
You never told me that you missed me
'Til you saw me breaking out
You never told me that you loved me
(Who, whoa, who)
Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say
But you're just a little too late
What did I do
What was I thinking
But I gave you my everything, my life
I forgot about me
And I stopped listening
Looking back I can finally see the light
You were happiest when I
was all stressed out and losing hair
Reaching out for you
And you didn't care
I'm tired of all the games you play
Funny how now you got so much
to say, to say
But you never
You never told me that you needed me
The way that you're telling me now
You never told me that you missed me
'Til you saw me breaking out
You never told me that you loved me
(Who, whoa, who)
Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say
But you're just a little too late
(I Know)
Why couldn't you tell me when
I needed to hear it before
(I Know)
I've not much else to say
This is heartbreak hotel
Why the hell would I want to try again
There's no way that we could still be friends
'Cause you never, you never told me
You never told me that you needed me
The way that you're telling me now
You never told me that you missed me
'Til you saw me breaking out
You never told me that you loved me
(Who, whoa, who)
(Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say)
Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say
(Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say)
But you're just a little too late
Duit, dit, duit, dit, dit, do
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You're just a little too late
Duit, dit, duit, dit, dit, do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Duit, dit, duit, dit, dit, do
Yeah, yeah
Duit, dit, duit, dit, dit, do
