I'm late to be
The perfect man
You wanted me to be;
I'm late to give
You perfect love
I've ever tried to give;
I'm late to see
The perfect things
I've never really seen.
I'm late.
I'm late to live.

I know
You are all I'm living for;
I know
That I will die alone.
I love
Like never loved before,
And that's why I should burn.

Burn me
And don't even care,
You'll see
Ashes of despair;
Burn me,
Try to make a move
Closer,
Closer to the moon.

I'm late to live
The perfect life
That I've seen on TV;
I'm late to feel
The perfect feelings
That could be so real;
I'm late to cry
The perfect tears
I've never tried to cry.
I'm late.
I'm late to die.

I fall
In love with your pretty smile;
I know
That I will die alone.
I love
Something in your lovely eyes,
And that's why I should burn.
