YOU'RE TOO LATE

I waited under neon 'til the train grew cold. You flashed your truth, but the ticket was sold. Midnight struck hard and sealed your fate. You say you're ready, but it's too late. We painted vows on the city lights. Rhymed every dream with sleepless nights. You kept your yes locked in rewind. Now I'm speeding past your idle mind. You thought love's clock had a pause to press, But the second hand never takes a rest. My pulse outran your hesitate. Now you're calling back, but it's too late. I waited under neon 'til the train grew cold. You flashed your truth, but the ticket was sold. Midnight struck hard and sealed your fate. You say you're ready, but it's too late. Heard your confession in a voicemail glow. Speaking the lines you never let show. I hit delete with a silent shake. Glitter on my shoulders, bigger plans to make. Silver moon spinning like a vinyl plate. Timing is a thief that you learn too late. I press play on a brighter song. Those half-said promises don't belong. I waited under neon 'til the train grew cold. You flashed your truth, but the ticket was sold. Midnight struck hard and sealed your fate. You say you're ready, but it's too late. Midnight train fades into hazy gray. I won't rewind those waiting days. Your yes arrives at the closing gate. Whispered softly, "It's too late."
