It's a little too late
I'm a little too gone,
A little too tired of just hangin' on
So I'm letting go while I'm still strong enough to
It's got a little too sad
I'm a little too blue
It's a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I'm big time over you baby
It's a little too late

No I don't want to want to talk about what we can do about us anymore
Only time you and me wastin' is the time it takes to walk right out that door
Yeah talk about water under the bridge,
You should know by now girl that's all this is

It's a little too late
I'm a little too gone,
A little too tired of just hangin' on
So I'm letting go while I'm still strong enough to
It's got a little too sad
I'm a little too blue
It's a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I'm big time over you baby
It's a little too late

There was a time,
This heart of mine,
Would take you back every time
Don't you know
It's been two packs of cigarettes
A sleepless night
A nervous wreck, a day ago.
Now you ain't got no business coming around
I'm closing up shop
Shuttin' us down

It's a little too late
I'm a little too gone,
A little too tired of just hangin' on
So I'm letting go while I'm still strong enough to
It's got a little too sad
I'm a little too blue
It's a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I'm big time over you baby
It's a little too late

I'm big time over you baby,
It's a little too late
