Too Late

I first saw the fire
Standing underneath a no smoking sign
As the flames got higher
They would only burn us sometimes

And you call me, but you're caught up
And you won’t leave, but you want love
And I see you fall
But I'm not strong enough to hold you up
And to own it, or to be us
Or to be free, with no trust
And it's taking all of my energy

How can I love you?
How can I love you?
You say you’re gonna wait for me
But you're already gone

How can I want you?
How can I want you?
'Cause you're so far away from me
I don't know who you are

You wanna live in a fantasy
Sounds so sweet, babe
But you can't escape
The reality of tragedy, babe

How can I love you?
How can I love you?
It's too fuckin' late for me
Can’t do this anymore

I turned to the skies
After shots were fired in broad daylight
Like everything’s fine
With water running from your eyes

And you call me, but you're caught up
And you won’t leave, but you want love
And I see you fall
But I'm not strong enough to hold you up
And to own it, or to be us
Or to be free, with no trust
And it's taking all of my energy

How can I love you?
How can I love you?
You say you're gonna wait for me
But you’re already gone

How can I want you?
How can I want you?
'Cause you're so far away from me
I don't know who you are

You wanna live in a fantasy
Sounds so sweet, babe
But you can't escape
The reality of tragedy, babe

How can I love you?
How can I love you?
It's too fuckin' late for me
Can't do this anymore

We already know, we already broke it
And I really hope you don't feel alone tonight
But don't bring her home and lead her to fall for you
Until you find whatever it is you're looking for

How can I love you?
How can I love you?
You say you're gonna wait for me
But you're already gone

How can I want you?
How can I want you?
'Cause you're so far away from me
I don't know who you are

You wanna live in a fantasy
Sounds so sweet, babe
But you can't escape
The reality of tragedy, babe

How can I love you?
How can I love you?
It's too fuckin' late for me
Can't do this anymore
