[Instrumental Opening] (Soft, haunting guitar arpeggios with light piano or synth pads) (Gradually build in intensity toward the first verse) Verse 1 This road we walked has vanished from our view And if you feel alone, it’s nothing I can do I left behind the dreams we used to own But now it’s too late, it’s always too late Pre-Chorus Even if I say there’s nothing left to fight Still, I hear you whisper, “I should’ve done it right” Chorus Now and again, we just watch life pass by Maybe we can’t turn it around, it’s too late It’s always too late— The time we lost won’t come back The words unsaid won’t come back The love we had won’t guide us again Verse 2 No one will ever see the truth we’re hiding And if there’s something lost, who would have guessed it?
