A Day Too Late
I told myself I wasn’t gonna be
Just your one night stand
But that’s exactly what I turned out to be
Just that girl you used to love
I used to be your everything
Now I’m just that ex
Who’s still so very much in love
But the one you only fall back on
When everything else falls apart
And I keep telling myself
That I’m gonna stop putting my heart thru this
But when the chance comes
To be wrapped in your arms
Or to taste your sweet kiss
Something inside me melts
And I just can't resist
I find myself falling back into your trap
Back into all those old feelings I still can't escape
And every time I know better
Cuz I’m always the one that winds up getting hurt
And yet still I let the cycle go on
Everyone continues to ask me why
And that’s one of the many questions
I can't even answer for me myself and I
I guess being your friend
Beats not having you in my life at all
But one day someone will see
Something inside of me
Something you never did
One day someone is gonna come along
And steal me away
One day when you realize what you had
All this time sitting right there in front of you
One day it's gonna be too late
And I’ll be gone for good
Once and for all!
