[Lyric] Too Late (Garrett Smith)

You chalk your every notion with a heartwarming grin
But it's the smile of your soul that seems to draw you right in
And I can't fight the wave of kindness that you've shown me

With my eyes on your back as you walk to his embrace
You miss the single tempered tear finds its way down my face
And all that's inside, expected to die on its own

And I'll always remember your heart and your
Sadness shaped eyes that make the butterflies start
If you needed a hand, why was mine so silent?

So you go on with your life as I drop my romance and my
Grass blade slit heart can stop doing its dance
I'd like to run and hide, but a feeling like this won't slide

In a love that never happened, in a world that's never been
I could count you as a partner, or a memory stained friend
But that's before I woke up to the cold hard light

I can't explain all my actions, there's no excuse for what I did
Pool my heart in for money, but it's not the highest bid
I have to retreat to a world without you
But you taught me a lesson with your heaven soaked arms
And a strength born of silence with a secretive charm
I'll never forget to make use of a moment that's given

So this is the song from the man who's too late as he
Throws his new heart on a burning white stake
Take from me now or leave my life lonely and silent

And I'll always remember your heart and your
Sadness shaped eyes that make the butterflies start
If you needed a hand, why was mine so...?
