[bodytext] => Too Late to Make Amends July 21, 2004 It’s too late for words, To take back what was never said, Too late for me to hear, What’s coming up ahead. There are times to make things right, But all you ever say, all you make me feel, Is used up and contrite. So why do you insist on coming back, Knowing I can’t take all that? But time and time again, Like maybe this time it will end. But let me tell you now, It’s too late for pretend, My heart won’t seem to mend. So if you think I’m wrong, Or time will turn my heart, I can show you right now, maybe you will see, It’s too late to make amends with me. You can’t expect to leave, And show up years later to grieve. No, nothing works that way, And all the time you convinced yourself, To come to me, to stop the delay, You should have known, I have moved on. And Mom? It’s just too late, To decide to care, Because I no longer look for a place, To see you standing there.
