You say you love me
And I hardly know your name
And if I say I love you in the candle light
There´s no one but myself to blame
But there´s something inside
That´s turning my mind away
Oh how I could love you
If I could let you stay

It´s late - and I´m bleeding deep inside
It´s late - is it just my sickly pride
Too late - even now the feeling seems to slip away

So late - though I´m crying I can´t help but hear you say
It´s late It´s late It´s late
But not too late

The way you love me
Is the sweetest love around
But after all this time
The more I´m trying
The more I seem to let you down
Now you tell me you´re leaving
And I just can´t believe it´s true
Oh you know that I can love you
Though you know I can´t be true
