I am not your hourglass
Can't flip me over to let time pass
Playing hard to get can backfire
Don't let a chance at love expire
Deadline, out of time
I can't believe I put up with you so long
That's it, I quit
Take me for granted, you're so wrong

/PRE-CHORUS/
You're gone, dream on
It's never gonna work between you and me
You didn't see the love in me
You're blind, now suffer the penalty

/CHORUS/
Don't you get it? Here's a clue
There's nothing more that you can do
You're too late, too late
I've waited around too long for you
And your affection's overdue
You're too late, too late
Too bad my love is gone for you
Some things you just can't undo
You're too late, too late
Now I have to close the door
You can't have me anymore
You're too late, too late

You knew I had my eye on you
That I'd always be there for you
You were too distracted
Now my offer retracted
Too slow, no go
Why you took so long, I just don't know
Fed up, stood up
I waited and waited, got zero

/PRE-CHORUS/ /CHORUS/

Oh, oh, why'd you think
I'd be waiting around for you
Oh, oh, why'd you think
I'd be waiting around for you
Ah (ah)

/CHORUS/

You're too late, you're too late
You're too late, you're too late
You're too late
