[Verse 1]
Forever was shorter than what I was thinkin'
And all we have left is yesterday
I guess I wasn't what you wanted
'Til you saw me turn and walk away

[Pre-Chorus]
But still you had me feelin' small, when I'm six-foot-four
Fed up with you always coming up short
Tired of all the games you play
Funny how now you've got so much to say
To say, but you never

[Chorus]
You never told me that you needed me
The way that you're tellin' me now
You never told me that you missed me
'Til you saw me breaking up
You never told me that you loved me, ooh
Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say
But you're just a little too late

[Verse 2]
What did I do? What was I thinkin'?
When I gave you my everything, my life
I forgot about me and I stopped listenin'
Looking back I can finally see the light

[Pre-Chorus]
You were happiest when I was all stressed out and losing hair
Reaching out for you and you didn't care
Tired of all the games you play
Funny how now youve got so much to say
To say, but you never told

[Chorus]
You never told me that you needed me
The way that you're tellin' me now
You never told me that you missed me
'Til you saw me breaking up
You never told me that you loved me, ooh
Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say
But you're just a little too late

[Bridge]
I know
But why couldn't you tell me when I needed to hear it before
I know
There's not much else to say
This is heartbreak hotel
And why the hell would I want to try again?
There's no way that we could stil be friends
'Cause you never, you never told me

[Chorus]
You never told me that you needed me
The way that you're tellin' me now
You never told me that you missed me
'Til you saw me breaking up
You never told me that you loved me, ooh
Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say
Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say
Sorry for what I'm 'bout to say
But you're just a little too late

[Outro]
Do do do do be do
Yeah yeah yeah
Your just a little to late
Do do do do dodo do do be do
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Do do do do be do
Yeah yeah
Do do do do do be do
Oh yeah
