Love Left A Long Time Ago

I saw you talking on the telephone
Suddenly your eyes were burning bright
And I never knew who you were talking to
But it’s too late, too late, love left a long time ago
You never said if there was someone new
And you’ve been getting home later every night
And I don’t dare to ask where you’ve been going to
It’s too late, too late, love left a long time ago
Why do we always hurt the ones we love
The ones we shouldn’t really hurt at all
Every thoughtless word cutting deeper than a knife
Still I can’t let go
How long have you been trying to hide yourself
The shadow of disguise is wearing thin
If I never knew you it seems to me
It’s too late, too late, love left a long time ago
I tore your letters into little pieces
They fell like confetti in the wind
And all of those words didn’t mean a thing
It’s too late, too late, love left a long time ago
