Those Three Words - Portair

Tiny little specks among the grass

With the blades against our backs

We were absolutely made of glass

Something beautiful that i let crack

I wanted those three words but all you had

Was «you're too late»

«you're too late»

I can’t make you want what you don’t

When you say

That «you're too late»

Fault lines trace the hollow place

Where you’d lay in my embrace

Your star dims in heights too great

Something beautiful that takes me into space

So far away from what i heard you say

Was «you're too late»

«you're too late»

I can’t make you want what you don’t

When you say

That «you're too late»

But i saw this picture different

And now i see it from a distance

I took the frame away

Now it floats in disarray

«you're too late»

«you're too late»

I can’t make you want what you don’t

When you say

That «you're too late»
