Too Late

Stayed in bed all mornin’ just to pass the time

There’s somethin’ wrong here, there can be no denyin’

One of us is changin’, or maybe we’ve just stopped tryin’

And it’s too late, baby now, it’s too late

Though we really did try to make it

Somethin’ inside has died, and I can’t hide

And I just can’t fake it, oh, no, no

It used to be so easy, livin’ here with you

You were light and breezy, an’ I knew just what to do

Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

And it’s too late, baby now, it’s too late

Though we really did try to make it

Somethin’ inside has died, and I can’t hide

And I just can’t fake it, oh, no, no

There’ll be good times again for me and you

But we just can’t stay together, don’t you feel it, too?

Still I’m glad for what we had and how I once loved you

But it’s too late, baby now, it’s too late

Though we really did try to make it (we can’t make it)

Somethin’ inside has died, and I can’t hide

And I just can’t fake it, oh, no

It’s Too Late by Carole King, 1971
