Too Late

Once you were mine
but i sent you away
it was too late
when i realized
you were everything i wanted

how i loved you
but you dont want me back
remembering the one i use to love
now knowing that has faded
i gave up the best thing
i could have called my own

i use to be what you wanted
but i pushed you away
i tossed aside
the only person i loved

looking into your eyes
i feel so weak
i need to hold on
to keep from falling

its hard to accept
your happy without me
but if its what you want
its for the best

but ill smile for you
if you can smile at me
ill still be there
even if your with someone else

my heart will stop beating
but i will go on
the tears will soon die
as your love for me

someday ill be fine
but right now
im falling apart
all i want
is to be with you

but it was too late
when i realized
you were everything i wanted
