Too Late

You stole the fight

Right from between my fingers

Then you stole my smile

As the door was shut between us

 

You stole my words

Right as I would have said them

Then you stole the air

And left me breathless

 

But I know I’ll go on

Better this way

Better this way

 

I know I’ll go on

You’ll miss me someday

But by then it will be too late

 

You stole my heart

And didn’t even stitch me

You stole my fire

Just to blow out the flames

 

You stole my fear

Just to put it back in me

Then you stole my gaze

Right as you left me

 

But I know I’ll go on

Better this way

Better this way

 

I know I’ll go on

You’ll miss me someday

But by then it will be too late

 

You stole my mind

You stole my words

You stole I love you

Before it was even heard

 

You stole my heart

You stole my eyes

You stole the one thing

That I called mine

 

 

You stole my mind

You stole my words

You stole I love you

Before it was even heard

 

You stole my heart

You stole my eyes

You stole the one thing

I prayed would always be mine

Would always be mine

 

But I know I’ll go on

Better this way

Better this way

 

I know I’ll go on

You’ll miss me someday

But by then it will be too late

At this moment, I am definitely feeling this piece. I can relate to the lines and feelings embedded into them. Such strife, such pain; and that is all we're left with in the end. I love it!
