This Morning It Was Too Late

Daylight crept inside my window, like a thief in the cold gray light of dawn

Somehow without needing to be told

I knew that she was gone

There's a silence so loud only heard

When true love dies away

It's the sound you'll find hanging in the air

When there's nothing left to say

Sitting at my kitchen table

Staring down my coffee cup alone

Birds sing outside my window but inside

I know this bird has flown

Wish I'd seen it in her eyes

The calm resolve before she'd taken flight

Oh, but I never saw it coming

Thought I had one more chance to make it right

But this morning

It was too late

She moved on like she didn't

Have another minute left to wait

And I'm rarely ever up this early

So I'll take the time to contemplate

All the reasons that this morning it was too late

While I'm counting all the things I should have told her

My coffee's getting colder, and I don't know why I can't take a drink

The only damn thing I want to do

Is just sit here and think

With a little bit more time

She would have seen that I'm gonna change everything to make her stay

If she'd only given me just one more day

But this morning

It was too late

She moved on like she didn't

Have another minute left to wait

And I'm rarely ever up this early

So I'll take the time to contemplate

All the reasons that this morning it was too late

Yeah, I'm rarely ever up this early

So I'll take the time to contemplate

All the reasons that this morning

It was too late
