There's a time for tears and a place for love
But when it's the two of us, the timing's a little off
They say time can heal, but it leaves a scar
Yeah, we could've had a shot, but, boy, did we mess it up
Now you're standin' where I stood for years
Feelin' all the pain and cryin' my same tears
Trust me, I know just how it feels, mm-mm
Back then you told me I was too early
But now you're too late, don't call me up
Too late to say you want my love
'Cause I had to learn how to let go
Now I'm okay
I was too early and now you're a little too late
I'm not losin' sleep thinkin' 'bout the past
'Cause I'm in a better place and I finally feel awake
You were once a dream, now you're fadin' fast
I only wish you the best, hope you're not lookin' back
Now you're standin' where I stood for years
Feelin' all the pain and cryin' my same tears
Back then you told me I was too early, ha
But now you're too late, don't call me up
Too late to say you want my love
'Cause I had to learn how to let go
And now I'm okay
Yeah, I was too early and now you're a little too late
Oh, I'll tell him the truth how I've put myself first
I put my hand up and taught myself worth
Forget it all, I'm letting you go now
New direction, Godly-centered, all perspective of
What couldn't hurt me (God), lifting my burdens (God)
It was all worth it, love is all worth it, oh
And now you're too late, don't call me up (Too late)
Too late to say you want my love (You want my love)
'Cause I had to learn how to let go
But now I'm okay
Yeah, I was too early and now you're a little too late
Don't call me up (Ooh, oh)
You want my love (Ooh)
Ooh, but now I'm okay
Yeah, I was too early and now you're a little too late
Little too late
Little late, a little late, boy
