[Verse 1] You say you love me And I hardly know your name And if I say I love you in the candle light There's no one but myself to blame But there's something inside That's turning my mind away Oh how I could love you If I could let you stay [Chorus] It's late - and I'm bleeding deep inside It's late - is it just my sickly pride Too late - even now the feeling seems to slip away So late - though I'm crying I can't help but hear you say It's late It's late It's late But not too late [Verse 2] The way you love me Is the sweetest love around But after all this time The more I'm trying The more I seem to let you down Now you tell me you're leaving And I just can't believe it's true Oh you know that I can love you Though you know I can't be true
