[Intro] (Mmm-hmm) You've kept me waiting so long And now you want to say you've changed Yeah right Let me break it down for you baby [Verse 1] I used to sit by that window Hopeful and wide-eyed Counting the stars, praying for the day you'd treat me kind But you had your kicks while my patience stretched thin Now the door's locked and I'm not letting you back in [Chorus] You think it's better late than never But honey I've moved on for the better A chance was yours but you let it fall And now I'm not waiting for your call Better late than never, that's what you say But I'm done with your empty words, I'm done with your games You talk about tomorrow like I'll stick around Newsflash, I've found my footing on solid ground Better late than never (ha!) I'd say never's just fine now [Bridge] While you were out chasing shadows, I grew stronger in the light Took every tear I cried and turned it into something bright You used to assume I'd always be your muse But guess what? Love's not a game where you can choose to lose [Chorus] You say better late than never But you should have been smarter, been clever I needed a partner, not a ghost Now my future looks brighter than your boast Better late than never, that's what you say But I'm done with your empty words, I'm done with your games You talk about tomorrow like I'll stick around Newsflash, I've found my footing on solid ground Better late than never (ha!) I'd say never's just fine now Oh, never's just fine now [Outro] Better late than never, huh? Just never
