[Verse 1]
You walked in to the room
I just had to laugh
The face you wore was cool
You were a photograph
[Pre-Chorus]
When it's all too late
It's all too late
[Verse 2]
I did not have the time
I did not have the nerve
To ask you how you feel
Is this what you deserve?
[Pre-Chorus]
When it's all too late
It's all too late
[Chorus]
Change
You can change
Change
You can change
[Verse 3]
And something on your mind
Became a point of view
I lost your honesty
You lost the life in you
[Pre-Chorus]
When it's all too late
It's all too late
[Verse 4]
We walk and talk in time
I walk and talk in two
Where does the end of me
Become the start of you?
[Pre-Chorus]
When it's all too late
It's all too late
[Chorus]
Change
You can change
Change
You can change
[Interlude]
[Chorus - Variation]
Change
Change
You don't give me love
[Chorus]
Change
You can change
Change
You can change
[Chorus]
Change
You can change
Change
You can change
[Bridge]
What has happened to
The friend that I once knew?
Has he gone away?
[Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus]
When it's all too late
It's all too late
Change
Change
[Chorus]
Change
You can change
Change
You can change
[Outro]
Change
Change

The face you wore was cool

When it's all too late
It's all too late
[Verse 2]
I did not have the time
I did not have the nerve
To ask you how you feel
Is this what you deserve?
[Pre-Chorus]
When it's all too late
It's all too late
[Chorus]
Change
You can change
Change
You can change
[Verse 3]
And something on your mind

I lost your honesty
You lost the life in you
