Meet me there at midnight Same place we always go You're absolutely sure he doesn't know Those words jump off the letter That I found behind our bed Haunting me they echo in my head, In my head. [Chorus] It's too late to try and work it out There's no way to turn this thing around It's all there in the letter that I've found I've memorized it line for line Too bad that letter isn't mine No, When can I then see you I've been counting down the days I promise you our secret will be safe No, I just can't continue Reading through my tears The beating of the letter is so clear, So clear [Chorus] You wanted me to find it Never tried to hide it The running never fades, those words are here to stay I hope you find this letter Writing you today These will be the last words that I say It's too late to try and work it out There's no way to turn this thing around It's all here in this letter that you've found It's too late to try and work it out (It's too late) There's no way to turn this thing around It's all here in this letter that you've found. So memorize it line for line I wont be there to say goodbye.
