Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Lyrics
"Too Late"

Have you heard about the hollow man?
Too frightened so he turned and ran
From the vision that he cherished so
Couldn't see it, so he let it go

Everybody has a secret sin
But everybody needs a chance to win
Anyone could see, I'm a man
That's sad and broken by the things I've done

But now I'm sorry that I said goodbye
And I'm sorry 'cause it's me that's crying
I never finished what I started to
And I'm just so sorry that I'm hurting you

But it's too late for us to just be friends
And too late for anything but the end
And too many dreams fell through our hands
And it's just too late to understand

Now I'll never make a new beginning
And I'll never stop the pain from winning
Nothing matters to me anymore now
Well, I've lost the things I was fighting for

And now I'm sorry that the dreams are gone
And I'm sorry 'cause I'm not the one
Who comes running when you need me so
'Cause I'm the fool that's let you go

But it's too late for us to just be friends
And too late for anything but the end
And too many dreams fell through our hands
And it's just too late to understand

All the tears of pain are falling down, oh, oh, oh
All the tears of pain are falling down, and you know

But it's too late for us to just be friends
And too late for anything but the end
And too many dreams fell through our hands
And it's just too late to understand

But it's too late for us to just be friends
And too late for anything but the end
And too many dreams fell through our hands
And it's just too late to understand

But it's too late, it's too late, it's too late
