Lyrics

It’s too late Stayed in bed all morning Just to pass the time There’s something wrong here There can be no denying One of us is changing Or maybe we’ve stopped trying
*And it’s too late, baby, now it’s too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died and I can’t hide And I just can’t fake it It used to be so easy living here with you You were light and breeze And I knew just what to do Now you look so unhappy And I feel like a fool(*) There’ll be good times again for me and you But we just can’t stay together Don’t you feel it too Still I’m glad for what we had And how I once loved you(*) |
太遲了 整個早上都窩在床上 只想消磨時間 這裡有些不對勁 這是無法否認的 我們之間有人變了 或許是我們不再努力
太遲了，寶貝，現在真得太遲了 儘管我們真的嘗試過 我的心已死，我無法隱藏 我真的無法掩飾 和你共處，曾是如此輕鬆寫意 你像陽光和微風 我明白該做什麼 現在的你看起來很不快樂 我覺得自己像傻瓜一樣 我倆仍可擁有美好時光 但我倆就是無法在一起 你也有這種感覺嗎？ 我依然很高興我們曾擁有的 還有，我曾經愛過你 |
