Her smile is hesitant eyes unknowing, our cards showing
The secrets we pretend to hide under the bed start showing their head
Whispers of truth we'd rather leave unsaid, our fears start to spread
Shadows of doubt and regrets we've misled, the walls start to bend
She looked right through me, like she never knew me
Her eyes held the key to what will never be
She looked right through me, like she never knew me
And then she said better late than never but this heart has a new home
All you wanted was my love but couldn't couldn't give you enough
Better late than never but your better off alone
Your knocking on my door but there's no one home
You're so fast to draw the flag but thoughts alone won't bring us back
We're stuck on this broken track in a house we watched burn to ash
A living room full of shattered dreams, all the windows are black
Whenever you play with fire make sure to cover your hands
She looked right through me, like she never knew me
Her eyes held the key to what will never be
She looked right through me, like she never knew me
Can you hear through the static?
Our hearts beating eratic
And then she said better late than never but this heart has a new home
All you wanted was my love but couldn't couldn't give you enough
Better late than never but your better off alone
Your knocking on my door but there's no one home
She's waiting for somebody else in the crowd, back faces me
As if she never knew me
Echoes of your smile fade out
No words are found
As I stand alone watching her turn around
And then she said better late than never but this heart has a new home
All you wanted was my love but couldn't couldn't give you enough
Better late than never but your better off alone
Your knocking on my door but there's no one home
