[Verse 1]
How many times did I ask 'why are you with him'?
How many times did I beg you to run away?
How many times did he tell you it won't happen again?
And how many times did it happen the very next day?
[Chorus]
And now I'm asking why didn't you listen to me?
Why didn't I do something
Though you said 'please just let it be'?
Why did I let him take you from me?
The choices we make, to right the mistakes
Too little too late
[Verse 2]
What did I say the very first time it happened?
I said where is he now and what do you want me do to?
Why did you tell me no, why were you protecting him?
When all I was trying to do, was protect you
[Chorus]
And now I'm asking why didn't you listen to me?
Why didn't I do something
Though you said 'please just let it be'?
Why did I let him take you from me?
The choices we make, to right the mistakes
Too little too late
[Bridge]
And I just can't help feeling
Feeling like I let you down
Your friend shield and armor
Protecting you from harm
Yeah right, if that were true
You wouldn't keep him around
[Chorus]
Why didn't you listen to me?
Why didn't I do something
Though you said 'please just let it be'?
Why did I let him take you from me?
The choices we make, to right the mistakes
Too little too late
[Chorus]
Why didn't you listen to me?
Why didn't I do something
Though you said 'please just let it be'?
Why did I let him take you from me?
The choices we make, to right the mistakes
Too little too late
Too little too late
How many times did I ask 'why are you with him'?
How many times did I beg you to run away?
How many times did he tell you it won't happen again?
And how many times did it happen the very next day?
[Chorus]
And now I'm asking why didn't you listen to me?
Why didn't I do something
Though you said 'please just let it be'?
Why did I let him take you from me?
The choices we make, to right the mistakes
Too little too late
[Verse 2]
What did I say the very first time it happened?
I said where is he now and what do you want me do to?
Why did you tell me no, why were you protecting him?
When all I was trying to do, was protect you
[Chorus]
And now I'm asking why didn't you listen to me?
Why didn't I do something
Though you said 'please just let it be'?
Why did I let him take you from me?
The choices we make, to right the mistakes
Too little too late
[Bridge]
And I just can't help feeling
Feeling like I let you down
Your friend shield and armor
Protecting you from harm
Yeah right, if that were true
You wouldn't keep him around
[Chorus]
Why didn't you listen to me?
Why didn't I do something
Though you said 'please just let it be'?
Why did I let him take you from me?
The choices we make, to right the mistakes

[Chorus]
Why didn't you listen to me?
Why didn't I do something
Though you said 'please just let it be'?
Why did I let him take you from me?
The choices we make, to right the mistakes
Too little too late
Too little too late
