Too Late

I've heard the rumors,
I've seen the lies,
I've seen them with my own eyes.
It's human nature to make mistakes,
Not only once,
But twice,
And now I've paid the price.
How do we continue?
Knowing the mistakes we made,
I Lived by the sword and died by the blade.
I've seen it countless times,
I never thought it would happen to me,
Love is mute,
Deaf,
And cannot see.
So this is how it is?
Can I not escape fate?
My brain is in the oven and my heart is on that plate.
Did I really know what love was?
How could I tell?
I took a deep breath before I fell.
In the end...
What does it all mean?
It wasn't heaven or hell,
It was somewhere in between.
I feel that I've tried so much,
But gained so little,
My love was so transparent that it wasn't even transmittal.
Hear that?
The sound of a clock ticking,
My soul is dead,
But my heart is still kicking.
I wanted so much,
That I forgot what I had,
How could I let loneliness drive me mad?
It didn't happen,
It wasn't real,
My heart needs time to heal.
I shoved my face into the pillow,
Whilst listening to a track,
And once again I was instantly taken back...
Back to when opportunities were open,
Back to when my heart was free,
When my heart was safe and no one held the key.
One day I will find love,
and I know it will be great,
Hopefully by then...
It won't be too late.
