2 Seconds Too Late

As my last bags packed,
I look around tryna find a reason to stay.
How was I supposed to know
That there was so much that he wanted to say?
If the train that he took would've been on time,
Then maybe we'da caught back up.
If my heart would've told me to change my mind,
I would've been there when he showed back up.

But He's 2 seconds too late
I've already walked out & left him behind.
He's 2 seconds too late
He's chasing my shadow,
Running out of time.
I don't wanna look back.
Too scared to cry
I'll never know if he cared enough to try
2 seconds made it too late.
Nothing left but the idea of him and I, him and I

I didn't think that he cared
And I was tired of tryna figure everything out.
I guess we both wanted to make a change,
But somehow we went down two different routes.
If he didn't make that turn, take the long way home,
Then maybe we'da caught back up.
Had the flowers, the candy, with open arms
To find himself standing there alone.

Cause he's 2 seconds too late
I've already walked out & left him behind.
He's 2 seconds too late
He's chasing my shadow,
Running out of time.
I don't wanna look back.
Too scared to cry
I'll never know if he cared enough to try
2 seconds made it too late.
Nothing left but the idea of him and I, him and I

Why'd it take him so long to figure it out
Clock is tickin – i've been sittin' here pouring it out – my heart
My heart is empty.
Theres nothing left to hold on to now.

He's 2 seconds too late
I've already walked out & left him behind.
He's 2 seconds too late
He's chasing my shadow,
Running out of time.
I don't wanna look back.
Too scared to cry
I'll never know if he cared enough to try
2 seconds made it too late.
Nothing left but the idea of him and I, him and I
