Better Never Than Late
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Any second I would sing you to sleep
With kind words in mind and hearts on the sleeve
Leave nothing to chance and everything behind
Second chances pave the way to broken hearts
This is the moment where I tell you that I'm falling apart
And I'm stuck in reverse between the same damn lies
Oh no, there I go, optimistic to a fault
Go home, you can never go again
When anything at all is anything but you
I want nothing my dear
This always ends in tears
You were my everything in all
And now my everywhere but here
This always ends in tears
Second chances pave the wasy to broken hearts
This is the moment where I tell you that I'm falling apart
And I'm stuck in reverse between the same damn lies
We're tossing pennies, making wishes to make it right
Another lonely day another lonely night
And I would give anything if you would only pick up the phone
Oh no, there I go, optimistic to a fault
Go home, you can never go again
When anything at all is anything but you
I want nothing my dear
This always ends in tears
You were my everything in all
And now my everywhere but here
This always ends in tears
