Yeah, it's just too little too late, mm

Come with me, stay the night
You say the words but boy it don't feel right
What do you expect me to say'
You know it's just too little too late

You take my hand and you say you've changed
But boy you know you're beggin' don't fool me
Because to you it's just a game
You know it's just too little too late

So let me on down
'Cause time has made me strong
I'm starting to move on
I'm gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone
And you know

It's just too little too late
A little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say
You know it's just too little too late

You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real, it doesn't matter anyway
You know it's just too little too late

Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah, it's just too little too late, mm

I was young and in love
I gave you everything but that wasn't enough
And now you wanna communicate
(You know it's just too little too late)

Go find someone else
In lettin' you go, I'm lovin' myself
You gotta problem
But don't come askin' me for help
'Cause ya know

It's just too little too late
A little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say
You know it's just too little too late

You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real, it doesn't matter anyway
And you know it's just too little too late

I can love with all of my heart baby
I know I have so much to give
(I have so much to give)
With a player like you, I don't have a prayer
And that's no way to live, no, no

It's just too little too late
Yeah

It's just too little too late
A little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say
You know it's just too little too late

You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real, it doesn't matter anyway
You know it's just too little too late
Yeah, yeah yeah
You know it's just too little too late
Oh no

I can't wait
No, no, no

It's just too little too late
A little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (yeah, yeah)
You know it's just too little too late

You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real, it doesn't matter anyway
You know it's just too little too late

    and what i think this song means is the guy is a player and like she sick of hanging around waiting for him. basically he's like a sweet talker. she falls for him everytime he does something sweet. but he doesnt keep it up and just throws her away. and then he wants her back. and she says she doesnt want him back. well im not sure. but its just my opinon.

    i think that this song means that this guy jumps from girl to girl to girl and doesnt really care about there feelings that much. he can sweet talk his way into just about any girls life and he's sweet talked his way into her's 1 to many times. he's in a way 2 faced, one minute he's the sweetest guy she knows, then he's a total jerk and leaves her in the dust. then he tries goin back to her again and again, and finally she says no, and she realizes that he aint worth it. he aint worth the pain and the suffering. he broke her heart too many times and decides to say no. i hate it when guys do that! (no effence to the nice guys out there!)

    I think it means just like ''jeNN uhh fEr'' said.that the guy is a player. He sweet talks and she falls for it. Then he throws her away like every other girl. After that he wants her back and she doesn't want him anymore because she knows his games.I just saw the video today =] ! Really good song. Not really what i usally go for but still great!Whats really interesting is the guy she is dating is a soccer player.And the guy in the video is too. ( Wow and i heard this on tv =] ) Yup Yup =]!

    This can't be about her and Freddy, because it didn't make the cut for the first album, and she wasn't with Freddy when she was 13.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
