Lyrics
When Did It Begin (To Be Too Late)?
Staring at the door you just went out of,
Life suddenly became an empty space.
I I just found out that you didn?t want me anymore.
When did it begin to be too late?
You must have known about this for some time now.
Even had to find another place to stay.
Is another man waiting there to comfort all your pain?
When did it begin to be too late?
(Chorus)
When did you know that you would leave me?
How long have I been living out a lie?
What day did you decide to let the whole thing ride?
How long have you been counting down the time?
You tell me thast you never really loved me,
With undisguised contempt upon your face.
Today, I stqart to pick up all the pieces of my life.
When did it begin to be too late?
